Making the Choice

Sadness it was in her voice
As she gazed at her man there
She knew she'd have to make a choice
It did not seem quite fair

So strolling down the lane this day
The two lovers they entwined
She knew the choice must come her way
She must make up her mind

The time was near to tie the knot
But did she really want this
Another man she loved a lot
Now filled her with sweet bliss

And now as she did hug her guy
She knew right there and then
That her love for him did die
She'd made her choice twixt these two men

Oh no, not for me. I would not want to be in this one. Following your heart is good, but someone will always end up hurt. Love guides us, but it also really twists us up at times.

Thank you so much Sherry, well that is one predicament I have never been in and I never want to, how awkward that would be, but I guess there are people out there who have, can you imagine trying to chose which man you want to be with, how awful, take care my friend......Vera

We don't watch these shows, but yes how awkward it would be to fall in love with two people, but really one must shine out from the other, thank you Old Buck and take care....Vera

Vera, I think if you love two men, one of them will slightly edge out the other. One must go with their heart. The heart doesn't lie. I wish you a very happy New Year! : )

Thank you so much for this delightful little comment and for visiting my site, as you can see I haven't written for a while but maybe after Christmas I will once again, I always have my husband Peter on my back to write more but I certainly am not as good as he is, anyway we will have to see, have a great Christmas and happy new year, take care.....Vera

WoW! Great emotion and wonderful imagery. A story which is all too often the reality. We must be very careful to make the right choices because sometimes we are stuck with them for life. Excellent in every way my friend. God Bless, JB Soup Mail

Thank you so much Eve, I didn't really have a choice, I wasn't that popular, I only ever had one at a time, can you imagine trying to decide what man to marry, what a pain that would be, but I am very happy with who I married, hope you are well my dear regards to the family and take care.......Vera

Yes thank you for the finding my page Maria, I have been on here for the last few years but I don't write very often, it takes me a while to even think of something, Peter gives me a push every now and then, thank you so much for reading my poems and take care my fellow Aussie......Vera

My first time on your page Vera. I didn't know you had one. I'm so pleased to have found it along side Peter's offerings. You guys are an awesome team and your poem is such a conundrum, but your heart and head gave you the answer that I'm sure was right...Loved it...Maria

Thank you so much Rick, you can understand my writing being very similar to Pete's, well that is because he is my mentor, if it wasn't for him I couldn't write a thing, he checks my work before I send it, I would never ever be in the same catagory as him, anyway thank you for reading and take care.......Vera
