A dream deferred doesn’t have to be a dream denied <br />Not now can be best, when not ever is the alternative <br />Timing is everything – just ask Juliet <br />We can strike while the iron is hot in the white heat of youth <br />Or we can consider the whys and why nots, and whens and hows of experience <br />Do we want now, or do we want forever, or will we forever want? <br /> <br />There is a balance to strike <br />but the knife-edge moves unpredictably <br />and can strike first. <br /> <br />Sometimes all we can do is make now the best now it can be. <br />The shinier the now, the more of the glimmer of tomorrow it reflects.<br /><br />Robert Hiers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-163/
