weekly poem...

choice

You can do great things,
and you can do terrible things.
But only you can decide
which of the two you will choose.

Will you be great?
Will you be terrible?
Will you be terribly great?
Or just great in small ways?

Two paths lay before you.
Time to explore only one.
The left path? Or the right path?
Try to dabble down the middle?

Hazy lines of great and terrible.
Yours the choice to make.
Not you mother’s, not your father’s.
Not friend’s or foe’s. Yours.

Will you be famous for good?
Famous for bad?
Or not famous at all,
Just living as people do?

You can do great things,
and you can do terrible things.
Yours is the choice to make,
be it small, large, or none at all.

Georgie K. Buttons
