Sometimes in life

Sometimes in life
you have to choose
between
one sadness
and another.

There are no other roads in front of you
no other deals
no other cards

So you choose a path
you make your choice
turn in your card

and look in the face of sadness
she becomes your partner
your company
she rides along side you

If I could have I would have given you a house full of people
who loved you
and a neighborhood full of children to play with
I would have given you gardens
and flowers
and music
I would have lavished my love on you
I would have brushed your hair
and fed you breakfast in the morning

but we were given what we were given
we have our cages and habits
our addictions and patterns

I have no other roads I see
or can find
so we walk
we walk
lost on the only road we can find.
