A Single Decision by Jill Sharon Kimmelman

A Single Decision

If you found them

at your door

a crush of pale pink peonies

alluring...breathtaking...compelling...

dropped without so much as a note

near-to-wilting...

from hours without water

would you take them in

or

toss them out?

They will still bloom beautifully

releasing their potent nectar

in sweet-dashes-of-scent

because they were rescued 

just in time...by you
