'Dance' Lessons

 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, 

who have been called according to his purpose.

Rom.8:28

 I'm hoping today's moves include cookie-cutters!

Dawn’s rise-and-shine rehearsals toward farewell’s rest-in-peace

Grants dances that can leave us breathless in its twist-and-turn

The Choreographer of have-and-hold’s hug-and-release

Surprises us with steps we never dreamed that we could learn

Time’s what-once-was with ways nonplussed composes quite a tune

While what-now-is tests physical and mental want-and-will

Today’s moves we must master wait to waltz us ‘cross a room

That soon will ring with echoes where our tears and laughter spill

...and we should try to trust Love’s lead, rather than understand

His choreography for His glory, not yours and mine

Thus, often contrary to the performances we planned

But always for our good He unfolds each dance-move's design
