Ready In Motion

I kept waiting to feel ready Then I learned ready can be

chosen

Confidence did not arrive

Before I stepped into the light

It met me somewhere in the middle

After I decided I would try

I thought brave people never trembled

Then I saw their shaking hands

Courage was not what they waited for

Courage was the way they chose to stand

I can begin With questions in my mind

Readiness can grow one action at a time

Ready is a choice I make Not a feeling I must wait

I can start with shaking hands I am ready when I stand

Ready is a step I take Even when the road might change

I am learning I am strong

I am ready

to move on

Ready, ready

Here I go

Every action helps me grow

I can prepare without delaying

I can practice without shame

I can ask for better guidance I can change the route and

keep the aim

I do not need to know the ending To be faithful to

the start

Every skill was once a question Every leader trained a heart I

can begin

With questions in my mind

Readiness can grow one action at a time

Ready is a choice I make

Not a feeling I

must wait

I can start with shaking hands

I am ready when I stand

Ready is a step I take

Even when the road might change I am learning I am strong

I am ready to move on

Ready is a choice we make

Not a feeling we must wait We can start with shaking hands

We are ready when we stand

Ready is a step we take

Even when the road might change We are learning

We are strong We

are ready to move on

Ready is not waiting

Ready is beginning
