Take a moment – Poetry Prompt #9

When you find yourself

At the beginning of the day

Asking yourself,

‘Is there another way?’

 

Then you realize

That this is not so,

In a moment or two

Will you have to go?

 

Is it more than just a word?

Is it more than just a thought?

Will I need to speak

Or shall I be bought?

 

And then at the end of the day

You’ll find your Mama

say, ‘Take a moment to think;

Remember, Acta Non Verba.’

I looked over the list they provided a link to and found that I liked the sound of Acta Non Verba which means Deeds, not words.
