Stretched in Two
Sometimes you get stretched in two
And, though you do what you must do,
You know there might be someone who
You’ve made a bit depressed.
Your reasons might be clear to you
But possible to misconstrue,
For everybody’s point of view
Won’t always be expressed.
And even if you had a clue
And agonized and thought it through,
You had to go with what you knew
Would pass the right-thing test.
So afterwards, a quick review
Might all your worried thoughts subdue,
For other chances will debut
To put your mind at rest.
