David Mcsorley Poet Rhyme

Oh Lord, Why Make Me Choose

Oh Lord!  why make me choose
My daughter, my grandson, my heart aches to lose
Fun and laughter that’s how it starts
But so often it happens the light turns to dark
In a flash or a moment the sunshine has gone
Darkness and sadness devour the fun
Once I could soothe things or so I thought
Those moments of pain that saddened my heart
But now it just seems I’m a meddling old man 
Who’s spoiling the kid, well maybe I am
And now I stand by and watch things unfurl
My stomach churning, my head in a whirl
My head says no more, keep away but I don’t know
Because of my  love watching him grow
It’s the essence of life my reason to live
Seeing my kids and my grandkids living Gods one time gig.
And perhaps I am wrong I really don’t know
But what can I do, I'll love them both for evermore
