The gift of choice



You’d ask him

Why this? Why now?

He just abhors goodbyes,

To those who matter somehow.

 

Like Priam once believed,

Of all wars he had to fight.

Only fighting for love,

Seemed sensible; seemed right.

 

Winning the war,

You can’t be sure about.

But winning battles against fear;

Befits a soul stout. 

 

You are no commander,

And he is no Gladiator,

But with forces combined,

The journey would be an adventure.

 

Doesn’t matter, if average people frown,

I tell you, with experience enough,

When responsibilities push us down,

Feelings we always shove,  

But if it comes to choice,

We must always choose love.
