Life Dictates
I was suffering from hypertension,
the doctor suggested rest,
and to spend more time sleeping
than I was spending on the nest.
I had to make life changing decisions,
by cutting my calendar in size,
which meant reducing my lady friends,
my primary reason for life.
However, this was incredibly difficult,
I loved all my lady friends,
How does one say goodbye to a lover,
when the power of love transcends?
The options were health or pleasure,
to die happy or with a broken heart.
I will definitely make that decision
when life dictates the size of my part.
