The Life Changing Decision 08/07/09

I stand in front of this man

I still have no set plan

My palms are getting sweaty

I do not know if I am ready

My knees grow weak where I stand

I hold a life changing decision in my hand

Shall I choose this or should I choose that?

My mind firing with the sound of a gat

I fumble to find the words

Like the flittering of the wings of hummingbirds

Then my eyes settle on what had to be

The perfect choice made for me

"I'll have a chocolate malt ball please"

My mind finally at ease

The clerk smiles and says, "That'll be five cents"

Then the chocolate malt ball he presents

I walk away with my candy in hand

The feeling I had, it was so grand

I will never forget that day in 64'

That I made my first visit to the candy store
