Compromise


Etched in stone is one facet of life

While another lies waiting and willing to thrive.

The career that cannot now be changed

Is a fine endeavor not to be wasted.

The career that causes the most strife

Is the one which would also bring the most joy.

Perhaps there is a way to do them both

And make my life an amazing time.
