Planning a Special Day

To try to plan a special day
Is tougher than it sounds,
For sometimes circumstances make
Some choices out of bounds.

Of all the problems one could have,
This one won’t even rate,
Yet still, it’s nice to find a way
To get to celebrate.

A brand-new venue possibly
Won’t work out to one’s taste,
But there won’t be surprises in
A place that’s been embraced.

The effort spent on research
Might just frazzle someone’s nerves
And there might be second guessing
In a place that one reserves.

Maybe visiting a favorite haunt
And ending with a meal
Will bring home the point that special days
Are really no big deal.
