Discernment - A Bit of Whimsy


Writing a piece about why fear and not funny,
sounded quite boring, not even a little bit punny.

But still the question rolled ‘round in my brain.
Why do some people smile, whether sunshine or rain (or snow)?

If a growling grizzly attacks in towering rage,
fear and panic step first on the stage!

Survival’s the answer for this question just asked
but at least we can smile when the danger has past.

And of course when we’re chatting about serious stuff
a wee bit of humour softens tension enough.

So be careful that humour isn’t first off the mark.
Be clear about real danger or serious remarks.

“We need discernment in what we see and 
what we hear and what we believe.”
~ Charles R. Swindoll
