Rainy Monday Morning Motivation Excercise

PAD Challenge Day 25; For today’s prompt, write an exercise poem.

Trip-tumble,

Slip-stumble,

Grip-grumble,

Oh, wow

This is the edict

Of hand to the plow

Be tender,

Surrender,

Defender

Of joy

Beauty of duty,

…life's sun-rain alloy

Reach higher,

Inspire,

Dusk’s fire

Bittersweet

Heaven above us

Spills stars at our feet

Be patient,

Creation

Does not ask God

'Why?' 

Rains splays in windows

Reflecting hope's sky

Live lowly,

Give wholly,

Love slowly

And then

Treasure each measure

Of mercy,

Amen
