Poetry on the likelihood of not using common sense even when all logic points to reason. A heart versus mind dilemma in which the words show a simple choice. But emotion enters and choice is not so simple and maybe even not so clear.

When you got it
And it is good,
Keep it going.

When you got it
And you have lost it,
Let it go.

But when you aint
Got it and it aint good,
And it aint lost, then
Don’t worry, ain’t your
Problem anymore.

    Simple advice that sometimes, based on stanza two, seems harder to swallow than to dish out. Excellent job my dear One !
