A poem; that is all.

There will always come a time
when a decision must be made.
To live or die from a conviction;
from plans that are best laid.

It matters not, whether right or wrong
as long as a justification is found.
We are judged on our actions,
an understanding that is profound.

    ‘Change is something that people fear, hesitate to endure and cannot always comprehend or handle’ – someone or somewhere I heard or read this Alistair. I liked this a lot, thought-provoking and inspiring.

    I like that with so few words you were still able to draw in others and make your point. Well done.

    As simply as you’ve stated it here, it’s so often just as difficult to make such choices and stand one’s ground. Well done.
