Why Not

Why Not? When considering our options – to do or not to do When indecision makes it hard to choose If life were easier for most and not just for the few And we want so hard to win and not to lose When searching for an answer is so difficult a task And looking for approval seems futile Who is it best to turn to when the question must be asked? Who do we hope will bless us with a smile? How can we feel full confidence in moving on from here? Why do we need to find the answer now? Does anything ahead of you engender deadly fear? How can you finally sooth that troubled brow? May I suggest you ponder, consider, if you will A way to solve your problems in a jot Just free yourself from worry and every other ill By simply saying to the world, “Why not?”

All too often we worry too much about such trivial things. An open mind does wonders for eliminating stress. Why not try it?
