Choices We Make
The Choice
I sat alone in my bunk
Waiting for the ship to reach the shore
Not for brevity
But stay docked for many days
So, I could enjoy the freedom from the ship
Down the gang plank I walked singing
Halleluiah.
with a glass in hand and a girl in arms
I lived the life, till the captain said
You have to choose between
Ship or shore.
A seaman life was not for me
I walked ashore never looked back
Halleluiah.
I sat in a glade when the mermaid
Of the forest’s lake
She invited me to her pond
It was deep and blue
I said, no and walked my way
While singing Halleluiah.
