That one thing you can't choose, <br />That one thing you can't pick, <br />That one thing you can never lose, <br />That one thing, you can get sick, <br /> <br />It's not your choice, <br />It's picked for you, <br />There's no dice, <br />It's not up to you, <br /> <br />It can't change, <br />Not now, not ever, <br />That would be a little strange, <br />Coz your stuck with them forever, <br />No matter where you travel, <br />No matter how far, <br />Even if you cut the ties or unravel, <br />You can never change who your parents are.<br /><br />Jodie Louise Pollock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-choice-is-not-yours-not-changeable/
