Choices

 

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT THE CHOICES

WE MAKE

SOMETIMES WE TAKE THE EASY PATH

THAT OTHERS HAVE TREAD BEFORE US

THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SOMEONE

HAS GONE THAT WAY BEFORE GIVES

US THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE ON

 

CONTINUE INTO WHAT

THE SAME OLD TRAPS

THE SAME DARK AND DREARY TUNNEL

TO NO WHERE IN PARTICULAR

WITH NO LIGHT TO GUIDE THE WAY

 

THEN THE CHOICES CHANGE

A LIGHT APPEARS

THE TUNNEL OPENS INTO

A NEW WAY OF BEING

WE ARE FOLLOWING NEW

AND STRONGER FOOTSTEPS

 

THE FOOTSTEPS GRADUALLY DISAPPEAR

WE ARE WALKING ON OUR OWN

TREADING A NEW UNFAMILIAR PATH

BASKING IN OUR OWN GLORY

REVELLING IN OUR CHOICES

THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
