A Blink
In a blink of an
eye.
Things can change,
and no amount of preparation, can
stop it.
There is no second guessing, or changing your mind.
Once that moment has passed.
You can never gain it back.
There is no time machine, to rewrite our choices,
and choose better, or a different way.
In a blink of an eye.
You have to decide
to do the right thing.
For you.
In a blink of an eye.
