Just Wait

 

Once in a while

on occasion

now and then

you will take a second

thought and regret

not having responded

to an occasion

as you feel you

might have

should have

but did not feeling

yourself somehow failing

as an astute observer

of humanity and events

that unfurl to shame

and belittle which require

a response. Don't be

so hard on yourself

other opportunities will arise

to reclaim your good opinion

of yourself, my friend.

They always do

They always will.
