Today is D


Double dog dare


"Don't be chicken", they say to me
"I double dog dare you," it had to be...
No matter the risk, once it was said
If you didn't go do it, your a chicken head...

Make a prank call or shoot the moon
a double dog dare, got you sent to your room
"Awe mom, I had to, don't you see...
It's cause my friends double dog dared me !"

TODAY IS C

 Choices.

There will come a time, you will see, one day,
the character you become by your choices today.

Left will bring rain, who's knows for how long,
does that mean a right is sunny and strong?

Look deep in your choice, leave nothing unturned,
for sunny and strong may mean you get burned!

And how 'bout that rain, in ark are you bound
or is it to find you break in new ground?

Sometimes the dark storms seem a hard choice to make,
you learn life's tough lessons through fire and earthquake.

You make your choices, which with you learn lessons,
some are forgiving, others keep you guessin'.

With each little choice your character builds...
will you live in a gutter or your dreams be fulfilled?

Its how well you stand after any mistake,
the breathtaking moments, not breaths that you take.


YOUR TURN

OURS IS...

You must reveal, not conceal, the way you feel,
for it is real ,the squeaky wheel has more appeal,
your knees are steel, learn to kneel, then you heal,
So here's the deal, be genteel, make life surreal !
