Time To Talk... Poem by Paul Daniel

How do you tell a loved one,
Something you know will cause them pain.
When not telling them would crueller,
And things would still end up the same?

Do you break it to them gently,
Or like a quick clean cut from a knife.
Should you calculate and plan it,
Or just cuff things, improptu like.

You can never plan for ones reaction
They'll suprise you time after time.
Best to judge it as you tell it,
And take it line by line.

Well tonights the night I planned it,
Here goes nothing I think one would say.
Hold my breath and bite the bullet,
And remember,
Tommorows a brand new day.
