THE CHOICE....PG 1   This is another one of those that I just "wokeup"
with...no idea where it came from....but I couldn't rest until it was finished!!   Controversial?
Absolutely....But that's never stopped me or Him before!  =)

The young girl checked her lipstick
Then smoothed a wrinkle from her skirt
Before spraying a mist of fine cologne
Inside the collar of her shirt
She twirled before the mirror
Bowed to her audience of one
She thought herself quite pretty
When all was said and done

Her waist was very tiny
Her legs were tanned and long
Auburn hair fell to her waist
As she hummed a little song
Very soon she’d be 18 !!
And she could hardly wait…
She’d be going off to college
To study, cram and date!!

Her whole life stretched before her
She faced the future most excited
Even her grades were perfect
And her parents were delighted!
After college she had BIG plans
She’d move to New York City
Find the perfect job…be a party girl
Talented, smart and witty!

Until, of course, she met THE man
The one who’d win her heart
He’d have style, wealth and lots of class
As his wife…her life would start!
It was all out there just waiting…
Tied in a package nice and neat
The future beckoned to her
And the world lay at her feet!

Then one week later, it all changed
Her excitement turned to grief
As what the doctor had to say
Made her stare in disbelief!!
“This has to be a HUGE mistake
The test was just done wrong!!”
But the doctor sadly shook his head
“You’re at least 8 weeks along…”

“Well I simply CAN’T be pregnant!”
Shrieked the sullen, spoiled girl
“That would just ruin EVERYthing…
My dreams, my plans…my WORLD!!”
“Please calm down!” the doctor begged
“Anger will not solve a thing!
You have different options to consider
Why not give these folks a ring?”
