Choices Or Chances

My parents thought giving me too many chances would be a mistake, When so much was at stake, Preferring to leave me in no doubt about the choices I needed to make, Starting with what was on my dinner plate.

Hello David, Your words here have much resonance with me as well. It seems like I had experienced the very same thing years' ago my parents. A learning experience for all of us while growing up. Cheers, Gary

I think we generally do better if given choices as long as they are clear and we are not spoiled for them. Thanks for reading. David
