Appraise Your Possibilities

Wallace Dean LaBenne

It's time to cogitate.
Think soberly and ponder.
It's time to speculate.
Examine probabilities.
Don't chance occasion squander.

Replay your happy memories.
It's time to ruminate.
Frolic in recollection.
It's time to appreciate.
Revel in joyous "tapestries."
Observe interconnection.

Compose your agitated mind.
It's time to meditate.
Quell uninvited chatter.
It's time to contemplate.
Conciliate for peace to find.
Establish what should matter.
