Wow Edward! It's the moral quagmires and the quandaries they produce that keep us up at night! Your four lines are like a gut punch to ethical and moral decisions. Well done my friend! Congratulations!

Wow, that's quite a dilemma. I'm sure some mother has faced it, but it doesn't make it any less a fearful situation.

Such a dilemma in your powerful piece Edward. Between a rock and a hard place and a situation that questions the value of loyalty. For me, the only way round the problem would be through it. A very thoughtful poem. Cheers - Gary
