With No 'Ifs' Ands Or In Betweens Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I use to give my time,
All the time...
Without question.
To anyone who wanted it.
No matter what was on my agenda,
I 'might' have had prioritized.

Now I give of my time...
IF I want.

And those who knew me to be,
Generous with it...
Have stated that I believe I am 'all that'...
Now!

NOW?

I was 'all that' all the time!
But being 'all that' was never on my mind.
I've just declared 'all of that time' mine...
Now!
With no 'ifs' ands or in betweens!
Can you feel me?

I have had no need for a computer,
To know 'who' it was I 'Be'.
Trust.
