A day with one “no” and one “yes”
both of them worthy enterprises.
The decline is actually a “yes” for me,
trying to guard time for myself.
The “yes” will involve time as well,
but less time,
and I am excited about the time I’ll be giving
to another.
Choices, choices.

Wow Amelia, I love this piece and your courage to write poetry!

Choices, indeed. And balance, and knowing how to take care of yourself (when to give your time, when to hoard it). Nice.

Remembering to keep time for self is not something I do well. I’ll recall your simple and important words you pen here. Thanks.
