Options

Life is just a set of options;

Decisions to be made.

Pathways always branch in at least

Two distinctive ways.

Taking one, we leave the others

Quite unknown where they could lead.

Options beckon, pleading, urgent,

Pressing us to pay them heed.

No one promised it was easy.

No one said, "You’ll know theway."

We can only look and learn

And choose new options every day.
