Stepping Out by Mmedara Umoren

The time has come

That I must become

All that I should be

The beauty of life to see

Stepping out of darkness

Walking away from sadness

Which plagues me daily

Arising and that swiftly

To see the dazzling sun

No longer will I run

Oh! To bask in joy and laughter

Gloominess at the slaughter

For all that I have missed

Now have I embraced and kissed

Though still shunning wrong

For the Kingdom I belong

Stepping out of shame

Now my life to tame

Walking with great pride

Such as becometh a cheerful bride

Now must I dazzle

All men bedazzle

With boldness and courage

Folks and foes to encourage

Stepping out at last

Though the tides run fast

Out of the darkness of negativity

Embracing the light of positivity
