Choices

By Albert Ahearn •
A person's life is all about choices.
Some are regrettable, others just fine.
Yet the one's we choose, rarely suffices
Our needs and refashioned minds.
Take a man with a chance for promotion
He'll embrace it without further ado
Deciding on a capricious notion
Winds up regretting on Monday's debut.
The same can be said of a high school belle
Forgoing the occasion for college.
Marries instead she's unhappy as h***
Missing out on a world of vast knowledge.
When faced with a choice choose not just any
Right choices are few, the wrong ones many.
