The power to give a life
Or take a life.

To be or not to be.
That’s the question
Or can’t you see?

You can start a new life full of hope
Or end a life with none.

To give the world new beauty
Or send something somewhere beautiful.

No matter what the choice is right.
You start a life or end a plight.

You can be the beginning or the end.
The choice is yours so make it my friend.

© Sherell B., Philadelphia, PA

The author's comments:
I garden and harvest Ruby moon Hyacinth vines and while in a single summer they can grow over 20 feet if you happen to eat one of their beans they are toxic.
This is about a choice of whether or not to plant the seed or take it.
