Little Decisions, like grains of sand
Constantly filtering through our hands
Scattered in deserts forever to lie
Or piled up as mountains that reach to the sky
Little Decisions like pieces of string
Leading to tangles or new openings
Braided and woven and spun into gold
Or tossed to the wind to be lost when we’re old
Should I say “Hello”?
Should I stay or go?
Should I criticize?
Or should I close my eyes?
Decisions of our lives
Little Decisions like people in line
Inching and inching until it’s their time
Little Decisions can open the gate
Little Decisions can make people great
Should I say “Hello”?
Should I stay or go?
Should I criticize?
Or should I close my eyes?
Decisions of decisions of our lives
