Cautela

"Cautela"

 -her every step-

was carefully measured and contemplated.

Never would you find her,
in uncertain circumstance,

for hers was a smooth paved road.

There were no ups or downs,

for hers was the straight and narrow.

Never a thrill,

nor did she spare the expense of the pleasurable unknown.

Her certainty was unnerving.

and she led many down her path

dotting every I and crossing every T,

eloquently moving from point A to point B.

Complications seldom rendered

she sought a clean break away.

As on her life she wandered

never did she ever take a dangerous chance.

On to her grave she ambled

having only lived her life at a meager 50%.
