I pray you dance

The picture is my own quick color sketch. It inspired the write. Hope you enjoy.

If you’ve come through a withering drought and your spirit is dry
I pray you dance in the rain with your face to the sky

If the Valley of Shadow of Death has darkened your days
I pray you dance in the sun and bask in its rays

If criticism, cruelty and doubt have knocked you off track
I pray you dance on a stage with the wind at your back

If an arrogant self-serving snob has shown you disgust
I pray you dance and smile while you paint “I love you” all over his shiny new Lexus.

Note: artists acrylic can be peeled off and buffed out but it will make the heart go pitty-pat and the neighbors snicker. Oh yeah, wear gloves!

Disclaimer: No legal responsibility is taken in the event you are strange enough to really try this.(with a Lexus)

Suggestion: A kinder and quicker retribution can be had by painting the words in several thick acrylic layers onto a piece of waxed paper. When fully dry, these can be peeled off, moistened and they will attach to clean paint quite securely but removably. For best relations, they need to be removed within a day or so. There is no way you can claim impulsive action here.

Testimonial: Once my senior high students saved their palette peelings and while I was not watching, attached them all in a grand spray on the main glass door – just before a visit from the super!
