Strike Up the Band

If one is wrong
and the other one is right
the choice should be easy,
but why then the inner fight?

We choose 
and then we second guess,
what if we chose wrong
and really made a great mess!

We know deep down 
the choice we made
will bring us joy -
like a summer parade.

Since I'm in the parade I insisted on pom poms for my boots. This parade marches to many tunes but the best one is inthe last stanza!
