Three Choices

By: Molly Kavanaugh

The ties to your ancestry
Binding a great family tree,
With this can you be truly free?
Now you have these choices three:
Embrace your blood,
An old-new bud.
Refuse the bonds
For fields beyond.
Keep roots down there,
And to be fair,
Leave your crown
In the care
Of clouds’ prayer
And wind’s heir.
The ties to your ancestry
Binding a great family tree,
With this can you be truly free?
Depends on who you want to be.
