Making the Right Choice
I put my life up on a shelf
Whispered to the rolling sea
Come and help me find myself
Either that or let me be
The sea spoke back in muted tone
Told me all that I once knew
Things like I was not alone
With those words the silence grew
Memories are tough to lose
When they're what keeps you afloat
There are things you mustn't choose
Times you should stay on the boat
All the love I sought and lost
This night came to haunt me still
I was measuring the cost
Rolling that rock up the hill
When it did occur to me
My life was my own to spare
Only I could set it free
Nothing that I could not bear
I'll paddle my way to shore
Or find a lifeboat I can use
No telling what life has in store
But with some light I cannot lose
