Maybe...
Has to be
The most frustrating word in any of our languages.
For example,
If I were to say 'Maybe' I'll come along to your picnic
I shouldn't bother making a whole load of extra sandwiches.
If I were to say 'Maybe' I'll go to first-aid classes
I shouldn't bother taking extra bandages.
'Cause all of us fall into one of two major catergories,
The 'Maybe-ees' and the 'maybe-ers'
The 'maybe-ees' offer up mind, body and soul
The 'maybe-ers' have control.

We spend our time guessing and assessing
Possibilities and probabilities
The wills and the won'ts
The dos from the do nots...

I like this...nicely written, and it made me think. What do I want to be, a maybe-er or a do-er? And how much maybe-ing will I put up with? I like hanging with do-ers.

Yes, food for thought ... well done.

You brought back memories of my grandmother whom I adored, she used that word with wisdom. She was a woman of faith and she left it to God, that He - maybe - made her certainties manifest.

Simon,

I gotta tell you, I hate indecision.  “Yes”, and “No”, are two of the most important words in the language.

Nice poem.
