Point of View (have-to or get-to)

I was immediately challenged while writing this...

Someone called and woke up Sleeping Baby and I had to...oops, got to, change my 'plans' 

(This is written with the remembrance that some things we simply 'have-to'!

But even in the dark parts we 'get-to' choose whether we trust the Light, right?)

Wherever we are going 

Whatever we must do

We choose its joy or burden

By a 'Have to' or 'get to' view

Perception picks the colors

Of gray or blue and gold

Where faith or fear will offer

A 'have-to' or 'get-to' mold

How simple seems the format

Where choice will soon become

The happiness or heartache

Of have-to or get to's sum
