On second thought…

On second thought…

So many decisions
are made in one’s lifetime

some decisions are made
with no thought at all. . .
. . . what to eat for breakfast
. . . what color to paint your toenails
. . . what to watch on television
. . . which shoes to buy

some decisions are made
only after a lot of thought. . .
. . . where to go to college
. . . which job to accept
. . . who to marry
. . . where to live

unfortunately. . .
some decisions are made,
only to be followed by second thoughts.
