A Little Leeway
Sometimes plans have many parts;
Not all will you embrace.
Yet if you’re lucky, with some smarts,
They might fall into place.
A little leeway might just pave
The way to make things work
And compromise could help to stave
Resentments which might lurk.
Too often people won’t engage
In planning’s give and take,
The lack of which can set the stage
For someone’s heart to break.
Yet thinking every aspect through
Of all suggestions made
Can shine a light of hope in lieu
Of hurts that might pervade.
