“A Sober Second Thought ”

I find I "double down" at times,
When I take note of where I'm blind;
To what's around that others see,
Or what has changed for likes of me.

Such is what's going on right now –
Uneven flows of change somehow
Make me sit up and note that life
No longer works in ways quite right.

I do not wish to foolish be,
And just withdraw from all I see
Ahead, which holds potential bright –
A balance, based on judgment – right!

So there it is – like teenage years,
Where judgment fails, regretful tears
Are part of how all this transpires –
With need for testing our desires.

Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
