Different Tastes

We all have very different tastes In books and art and food, In where we live and what we do To lift a sagging mood. The way we dress, our travel plans And when we sleep and wake, Our politics, religion And the purchases we make. What’s right for me most likely Wouldn’t work as well for you, So each of us must choose our path And do what we must do. A million options wait in life But most we will reject, Though somehow some might overlap And we will then connect.

And it's wonderful when we do...in my opinion. And I wholeheartedly agree with both Maurice and Gershon.

So much profundity in your treatment of this well-worn topic, Ilene. Really makes me stop and think about all the options, all the different choices people make, and such. Sometimes I wonder how there can be so many restaurants, for example, on a one-mile stretch of road. Now I can refer to your poem. Thanks. A real winner here, methinks. Poetry Salutes & Salutations, Gershon

It is true there are so many choices each day for us to make whether they are good or bad and whether we make the right choice or not we still have to keep on making those choices. Thanks for sharing. Sara

I can't speak for everyone but I for one am glad we did connect on this path. Such an inspiring poem, Ilene.
