Frightful Steps

​Awaiting times that have yet to come
Wanting to stop, then turn and run
What lies before me I’ve wanted so dear
I cannot help but conjure up fear
At last long dreams I do realize
Yet courage and strength have yet materialize
My hopes and my future are coming to pass
It’s taken too long but coming so fast
I’ve got what I want and won’t let it go
Is this my desire? I need to know
The answer to all my fears I have found
And now new fears to come and abound

The thoughts that I have cause feelings of doubt
But future to come puts those thoughts en-route
As decisions come near I want let them pass
Instead I will stand against little or mass
Frightful steps before me I know I must take
Without those steps no triumphs I’ll make
The days are so long yet decisions so cold
I will not be forced to give in or to fold
As each night approaches, approaches new fear
And each step that I take new confidence comes near
They show themselves mean – no less than wrath
I will not let fear determine my path
