Choices
by C.J. Heck
Life has been full
of crossroads and pathways
many choices to make.
Decisions lay around
in the dust
where they were made
each with a set
of bumps or potholes
and hairpin turns.
Years of choosing
hard lefts or hard rights,
and softer choices
hidden in curves.
I've wondered at times
how my life might have differed
from a different route.
Lord knows,
I could have used
more straight stretches,
but at least I made choices,
some good, some not so good.
How sad for those
who merely hitchhike along
never daring to choose at all ...
