Choices

In every classic fairytale Comes a happy ending But in life some people fail To see it as a real thing. And I tell them "just keep hope You're on the right road Although you think that I joke, I know you'll find your toad." And then some ole fella says "Your heart has never been broken, You're gonna get yourself a mess If you keep your heart so open." I argue "Sir, hearts are strong, I know you think that I'm wrong And that mine may not have broken But at times it has been torn Yet it's still a precious token -Glowing and gracefully worn. And others can't take it away, That's what you can do. Or you can choose to let it stay And wait out dreams come true. Yes wounds are inevitable, Make you feel very dumb, But what can make more trouble Is being tough and numb If you don't give things a chance, You may pass up the best And never get your ballroom dance Or get a peaceful rest. So which one will it be: Deprive yourself of any love Or live a fantasy?" September 2009
