The Deciding Factor
Have I made the right decision?
Lord, it “feels” so right …
I’ve pondered and I’ve questioned this,
With all my strength and might.
So many times I’ve queried;
“Am I ready for this step?”
So many sleepless nights where I
Have laid awake and wept.
One moment, I am sure of it,
Another moment … not;
Conversing back and forth within
My tattered train of thought.
I need to do what’s right for “me”,
These answers I pursue,
While weighing out the pros and cons,
For is this right for “you”?
I’ve sheltered many feelings,
Kept them deeply held within;
It’s easy to be selfish, and
Decide upon a whim.
But circumstances vary,
And I must include in this,
The consequences that surround
The essence of my wish.
If future dreams of happiness
Depend upon my thoughts;
Then surely this deserves the time
And answers I have sought.
And through this journey in my mind,
As back and forth, I sway;
The final, clear conclusion has
Arrived to me this day.
No longer do I have my doubts …
They vanished instantly …
The moment I looked in your eyes,
And saw “your” love for “me”.
