Our choice

Two strangers meet For the first time Amidst the noise To make a choice.

They could decide To sail away Like a big shot In a great yacht.

Memories make To last a life A treasure trove Perhaps of love

A poem a day He promised her She could come back With quite a stack.

He wants to know If she’s to trust She wants to know If he’s her beau.

They could forego Their bucket list They could just deem Who needs a dream?

They could just work They could go on With daily life The usual strife.

When life is done We won’t regret The things we’ve done But those we shun.

When days are gone We won’t look back And ask, done for Did we work more?

No, we will wish We’d given love A chance in full Not just kind of.

And looking back We’ll wish we’d had That week, we’ll wish We could backtrack.

And so today Let’s take a chance Let’s choose to dance Let’s pick romance.
