The Obvious Choice

Venturing the path less trodden,
Had always seemed so distant;
I open my eyes and awaken,
To realize the dreams magnificent!

The day is ever so bright,

There's a spring in every step I take,
My mind is empty, my heart light,
I'm filled with joy for the life I'm going to make.

As I reach the gate, I pull up my shorts;

Take a deep breath in and memories come to me.
The life I left behind, family, friends and the sorts;
My little house, the small heaven, now seem like a huge fee!















I think that I should turn around,
And probably walk back;
I am so tightly bound,
My dreams I begin to pack!

I remember my father's pride,

My mentor's faith,
The longing eyes of my bride,
And the promises that made her wait.

I feel torn between the two,

The old green tree and the new sprout.
I know what I have to do.
There is absolutely no doubt!


















Feeling all the more confident now,
I wear a winning smile;
I know I am one among the lucky few,
Who can go an extra mile!!

    though i can sense some doubt in the following lines....
    "I feel torn between the two,
    The old green tree and the new sprout.
    I know what I have to do.

    1. Thank you.

      Of course, he has a few moments of doubt but he becomes practical once again and re establishes his decision :)
