Big Girl Panties

Big Girl Panties

Time to grow up

Put my big girl panties on.

No more to go running about

Demanding my way and lashing out.

No more hiding behind others

Hoping He’ll choose another.

Time to get my big girl panties on.

One leg at a time

Out of the mire I must climb

Not Like a toddler “I do it myself”

But like a big girl asking for help.

Getting those big girl panties on.

Stop playing a game

Hard stuff ahead, nothing the same.

Be willing to get messy

Go out on a limb and get sweaty.

Serving not my own needs,

Not worrying if I have the strength or will fatigue,

But putting my big girl panties on.

Fear and shame a thing of the past,

Not letting my pride hold me back.

Missing the blessing every time I refuse

Time to be stepping into new shoes.

When things get ugly, stop making childish faces.

Time to be the one who embraces

Putting my big girl panties on.
