The Life I Lead

The life I lead would likely be
A life you would not choose.
In fact, if there could be a switch,
You flatly would refuse.

Yet I would say the same for yours,
No disrespect intended;
Though maybe I’d consider
Certain aspects recommended.

The way we choose to spend our days
Defines just who we are.
We may extend our comfort zones
Though rarely very far.

A wise observation, Ilene.....and couched in pleasant and inoffensive language, very well arranged and metered, as always. One of your best.
