Bonus Poem

Many are familiar with the poem

Dance
   As though no one is watching you
Love
   As though you have never been hurt before
Sing
   As though no one can hear you
Live
   As though heaven is on earth
                                               
               --Alfred D Souza

Today, a friend sent out the challenge to write our own poem full of pithy wisdom. Below is my "version"

Answer
Like your grade doesn't depend on it

Debate
Like no matter you say, they will still be your friend

Play
Like the outcome matters
Live
Like it doesn’t

Rest
Just Rest

Be Selfish enough to be able to give to others

Cookies are acceptable breakfast
But only when eaten as though they were cereal

Laugh
Like those listening are charmed by the sound

Love
Even if it means being hurt again

Dance
Your cares away
Worries for another day

Never be ashamed of what brings you true joy

Live
with those who will remind you of your worth, even when you have forgotten

--Serving Him alongside all of you, just from further away
 --Jesse Letourneau
