PAD Challenge day 3:For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) of Love,” replace the blank
with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and
then, write your poem.
Yesterday gold...
Today gray
God faithful
All the way
To do the things we ought to do
And not keep score or record of
Those second miles and weary whiles
That balance softer smiles of love
To be fit for the task that asks
Love to be servant, never slave
And not to shirk love's harder work
But to care well for what we have
To take this day of gold or gray
And give it all that we can give
And not to waste its touch and taste
Where love is the best way to live
