Everywhere I travel
I am accompanied
By many companions
Most are long familiar
And a few are new, though
Easily remembered
They keep close company
In times of solitude
Old friends speaking of
Times past, and new faces
That remind of more
Recent occurrences
Like family, they help
Me to be well grounded
Ensuring that the sin
Of pride does not become
Another one of my
Many accomplishments
Once I believed that I
Was good at decision
Making, but I know now
That while I may be quick
Being decisive is
Not quite the same as good.
