Feelings Can Be Deceptive Poem by C R Clark

Feelings Can Be Deceptive

Rating: 5.0


A wise man once told me, some years ago
When you feel a dilemma is so direly real
You should surely reflect on well founded facts
And do not rely on just how you feel

For feelings, my friend, deceptive may be
A bent by some fleeting emotional need
Don’t base your decisions on feelings alone
They might take you someplace you’d rather not be

What wise words and how vitally you write them here - tersely and with scant line - - excellent for the point to be made....... Fay.
