Priorities

(a terzanelle using acrid, bane and tepid)

Each of us must choose our separate way
In the manner we live from week to week
Each of us must choose our separate way

What other men opt, who else would speak
It is none other's to approve or to disdain
In the manner we live from week to week

My own actions led to my family's bane
The consequences of which I find acrid
It is none other's to approve or too disdain

Will my heart, to life, be eternally tepid?
Can I muster the will to find a new wife?
The consequences of which I find acrid

I fear prioritizing the things in my life
To place importance of one over another
Can I muster the will to find a new wife?

Which to honor more; God, kids or other?
Each of use must choose our separate way
To place importance of one over another
Each of us must choose our separate way
