Strut Your Stuff

Reach out
Make haste
Don’t waste
Just taste

Reach out
Tell all
Stand tall
Have a ball

Reach out
Talk long
Fear gone
Be strong

Reach out
Listen well
Do tell
Give it hell

Reach out
Write it down
Don’t frown
Just clown

Reach out
Open up
Be tough
Shed a tear
Wash it clear

Reach out
Laugh loud
Be proud
Embrace the crowd

Reach out
Live long
Be strong

Door is open
Be outspoken

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.

Thanks SEA, VAS,CpatHair, LadyPeach annd Lighthousebob. Some people say that this is my best poem so far but I like so many of them. This one is close to me because I've lived it and continue to live it each day.

Do not fear going forward slowly,

Dan:  an example of how less is so much more.  Truly a message to "suck the marrow out of life" -- very positive affirmation to practice.
