Choice Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

This is good and that is bad
It’s not easy to say honestly
Possibly that is the hardest
To choose

I recall our troublesome years
Reza and I

“Which?
What is to lose and sacrifice? ”

We both asked:
“Choosing one and give away
Another one”

It was hard then
That is even harder presently
Right now

When sport comes
As sport must Gilmore Junio
For Denny Morrison

When family smiles
Justine and Chloe win medals
Maxime turns 12th

And the winners:
“Thanks to Gilmore, Maxime”
They firmly say

It was hard then
That is even harder presently
Right now

To choose
