Poem #364 Offers Three Choices


 Choosing
by Amy LV


Students - yesterday I was thinking about problems and solutions both in life and for characters in literature.  Somehow, this quote from Quaker missionary Stephen Grellet keeps running through my mind -

I expect to pass through this world but once.  Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now.  Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

I am going to try to look at all of my decisions as having three choices: make it worse, make it better, leave it the same.  What thoughts or advice do you have about life?  Try wrapping them up in a poem.

Tomorrow is the last day of March, the last day of MyPoWriYe.  Sigh.  The next day is Friday, the first day of National Poetry Month.  Hooray!
