Choices

"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
   Don't be alarmed now.
It's just a Spring clean for the May queen.
Yes there are two paths you can go by,
    But in the long run,
There's still time to change the road your on.
And it makes me wonder."


Sometimes people make mistakes
And try some drugs for Heaven's sake.

This fad doesn't make you bad,,,
Friends and family might be sad.

Kids need time to sow wild oats 
Without our hands around their throats.

Eventually they'll find their way.
Doesn't matter what we say!

They'll grow up and pay their way,
Looking back on that one day

When they made their final choice,
Decided on their future voice.

Wonder what the kid will be?
You'll have to wait a while to see!


"Stairway to Heaven"

you chose an excellent theme to emulate with your poem. I remember those song lines as if it were yesterday.
