Just Say No (Haiku)


An approach to life
Saying,”No,” and meaning it
Creates time for Aim

In our heart of hearts
To be, to do, to have, hold
Is what we desire

Knowing what we want
Allows decisions to act
To realize Aim

Stepping back to ask
What am I doing and why?
Leads to decisions

Short of stubbornness
But making decisions stick
Allows Aim to win

Pleasing of others
Is not an aim, an excuse
Takes the easy way

Realize the rest
Is others’ demands on us
To satisfy theirs

A time has to come
When one must ask the question
Answering with heart
