HERE ARE MY EXAMPLES - for what they're worth :)

At first, I was planning to write new ones for this year, but the evening got away from me and now it's Wednesday (wee hours of the morning) already and I need to post this. Besides, these (from a few years ago) are not half-bad. I’m anxious to see what you come up with though!! Cheers!!

The first one is silly: 

What if I danced in the rain?
I might get a little bit wet.

What if I sang at the top of my lungs?
I could land a singing contract, I bet.

What if I went back inside and sat down?
I would never know what I might do.

I wonder, would you be so bold, if it were you?

This one is more serious:

 
What if I listened very carefully to the spirit?
I might be surprised at what I hear.
 
What if the Lord has plans I'm not ready for?
I could try to pretend I didn't hear them.
 
What if I listened and obeyed?
I would be more useful to His children.
 
Do you think I'm that strong?
