Decisions

Some can make decisions
In an instant, with a snap,
But for me, a slew of choices
Feels like falling in a trap.

I will agonize and falter;
I will vacillate and wait,
Weighing pros and cons as if I
Were prepared for a debate.

For the big things and the small ones,
I do equally get stuck.
If you’re waiting for my answer,
Well, you might be out of luck.

When I’m asked for my opinion,
I’m sure you can ascertain
That if I just had my druthers,
I most surely would abstain!

It's better to consider just what the fact's may be. Than to rush in and just get stung by a great big ol' bee.

I'm in the same boat, Ilene! When there are so many choices it's just too hard to choose! Great write! Love, Kim
