Dare For Today

PAD Challenge day 8: For today’s prompt, write a dare poem.

I dare you to let go,

Of what we cannot change

And hold to what we can, my dear

For life, so swift and strange

Waits for no one but hastes away

Yet, always leaves behind Today

Futile to mope and hope 

For what can never be, 

Each new Today, my dear, is rich

With opportunity

And so I dare you to let go

Of what we cannot change or know

I dare you to embrace

The moment you are in

To live-laugh-love with all your heart

What will not pass again

And in this chase twixt sky and sod

I dare you, friend, to trust in God

 Janet Martin

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths. 

Prov.3:5-6
