Play Now, Play Again

Play* now with enthusiasm’s power Lay yourself to morning exercise-leading Aware of physical needs’ pampering action Yearning for the adventure-peps of blissful youth. Play still… though you’re in your prime Learn new games midst grand kids’ laughter Attempt to shake your body, and stretch again Yell with exuberance: “Thank God, I still can… yes!” Play today… visit the amusement park Listen to giggles’ mirth of children you love Acknowledge the Lord’s strength, graciously aging Yield to play’s joy, overcoming demands of youngster years. *2Samuel 10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play… and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
