Hold Your Horses.  My ongoing project to practice and learn photoshop is turning out to be great material for a children’s book.

Yes, and I will rejoice

With voice

At Choice

But choosing Brings Pain

Destroying one option 

The other is Born

Denying one wish

One other embraced

Afraid to commit to committing

For lack of options

Or too many to bear

When It rains it pours

When I love I adore

though the equal in opposite 

Is true

Through Choice

And in this I rejoice 

Yes, and I will rejoice
