TO WHICH IMAGE SHOULD WE CLING

TO WHICH IMAGE SHOULD WE CLING Is it the hero to whose brave image we should cling Or the sage, whose deep knowledge impresses us all Perhaps the bard, whose melodies we hear him sing But even the ferryman, as we’re heeding our last call Is it the priest, to whose connections we will cling Or maybe a seducer, for whose lines one could fall And the one we love, who to us means everything As the image of their sole dedication will never pall Even a joker, who for us much joyfulness can bring And that inspiring leader, now standing there so tall To the image of the caregiver who will do anything Or maybe Humpty Dumpty, now fallen off the wall

Interesting blend of images, Howard...also subtly thought provoking. Best wishes with the contest, Sara
