Flexibility

It’s okay.

I don’t mind.

Let’s just say, “I’m fine with that.” 

Get it done and

Then move on to

The latest, greatest task at hand.

 

Pliable to circumstances,

I can play the diplomat to

Find a stronger middle ground

And grow to be the bigger man.

 

My young Turk self far less resilient,

More resistant to mad change.

My way or the cliched highway,

The mantra of pubescent youth.

 

But actions and experience

Becomes a tempering tool

And time a patient pundit

Plainly targeted for truth.

 

Life is plump with problems

And alternatives abound, so

We strive to remain flexible

Until prospects turn around.
