Brim
By B. K. Lawson
Why not laugh out loud?
For a heart is fueled by joy.
Why not sing a lovely song?
For a soul is not that coy!
Why not speak, when a message must be?
For a life is lived by bravery.
Why not choose to walk through pain?
For a mind in fear is slavery!
Why not dance with dark peril?
For faith is grown by trust.
Why not feel the swell of compassion?
For one might grow, in love!
Why not hold a valued one dear?
For closeness lifts the spirit’s cup.
Why not spill from a vigorous brim?
For a friend might drink it up!
