What Are You Selling?

Everyone sells something,
whether they ought.
What do you peddle when
God says, "Fear Not"?

Think you're not selling stuff?
Just check  your speech,
anytime things get rough.
What do you preach?

Is it then fear or faith,
darkness or light?
Do you deal law or grace,
crisis or Christ?

Illness

Having a teen is not quite a sickness,
nor does insurance chip in for payment.
Still, you might claim reduced mental quickness,
citing your kids as causing the ailment.

But, the prognosis looks fairly healthy,
only ten years to full restoration.
You will get smart then, if not quite wealthy,
soon as your child completes education.
