Wobble To A Waddle

Decisions?
When making them,
Be firm.
And if you are not accustomed,
To doing this...
A familiar inconsistency,
Will someday teach you a lesson to learn.

Get off that fence as quick as you can.
Wobble to a waddle...
Until the shaking in your knees,
Free you to stand.

And in the doing of this,
You will get use to it.
With the expectation of comments made,
That something you said or did...
Chased another false friend away.

Get off that fence as quick as you can.
Wobble to a waddle...
Until the shaking in your knees,
Free you to stand.

And when you begin,
To stop seeking approval.
You will never again be afraid...
To move forward with a life,
God gave to you to be brave.

Decisions?
When making them,
Be firm.
And if you are not accustomed,
To doing this...
A familiar inconsistency,
Will someday teach you a lesson to learn.
