Not Our Choice

You will never see him grown. No, it isn’t fair to see you lying there, wishing we could postpone this thing written in the book. Being who we are, our road may be less far. We may not have long to look, for the pathway we should take. What we see as the who we wish to be, may be short, narrow in the wake. © Mar 27 2011
