Choices

by June Sargent

You'll feel insecure,
even immature,
about choices you will make.
In the days to come,
as things start to hum,
remain calm and take a break.

"Today you are you!
That's truer than true!"
Dr. Seuss - make no mistake -
says you can stand tall,
e'en when feeling small.
So just smile and eat your cake!
