Never A Choice Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

Given choice to live my life
would I still do the same?
To be with you and share your world,
your laughter, joy and pain?

To recognise we made mistakes
yet still to journey on,
and know how much hard work it takes
to truly love someone.

Sometimes the road was dimly lit
with hazards to contend.
You wish for roads just straight and true
but ours would always bend

We never saw around each turn
those pitfalls all about,
but as years passed we'd start to learn
to figure these things out.

Our enemies along the way
would try to change our heart
with words so cruelly spoken
lesser loves might tear apart

Yet through it all we lived and laughed
and built out own empire,
not for a second did I want
to dampen our loves fire.

So given choice to start anew
and find an easier way..
I'll always thank God I have you
And choose this life every day!
