Options
Ever since I ws tenWhen we first moved
Across the country
My parents have told us
That its always good
To keep your options open
We have certainly had
Our share of that philosphy
Being out of work
More often than we'd like
Dad being in construction
Always traveling about
New York, California, Ohio
Texas, Washington, Iowa
Nevada and back to California
Several more times
Eventualy ending up split
Parents divorcing in 1988
With Mom in New Jersey
Dad down in Florida
And us kids spread all about
Now that we're adults
Not much has changed
Still wandering all about
Keeping those options
Very much wide open
