Dare to Decide
A Sonnet

How warm and reassuring waiting is
Delay, deliberation, second thought
Supply a shield against that dreadful quiz
When the pressure to act cannot be fought

Sober circumspection is always wise
Rash haste has brought many a hero low
But for procrastination, there's no prize
Read the map carefully, but then, please go

Do not be paralyzed by fear and doubt
Nor should you hesitate to fools annoy
One can lose many rounds and win the bout
And what fun is a pristine, untouched toy?

Be wise and cautious, but once you decide
Upon a course, leap on your horse and ride!
