Cowering in my room, avoiding the inevitable dawn.
There will be duties, and chores. Perhaps conflict and woe.
Too, there may be laughter and fellowship. Hilarity. Good will.
If I bring joy, there may indeed be joy.
❖
Why cower, if I can go forth and bring with me what I would most desire?
Let me be fearless, Lord, to cross my threshold.

Consider:
Can I have courage, even when fearful?
