Choices

Every day, we face a choice,

To listen or to raise our voice.

To work hard or to take a break,

To give or to only take.

We choose to love or to hate,

To forgive or to hold a grudge and wait.

To be kind or to be mean,

To be honest or to be obscene.

Our choices define who we are,

They shape us near and far.

The road we take is up to us,

And the consequences are a must.

Choose wisely and choose well,

And your life will be a tale to tell.

The choices you make will lead the way,

For tomorrow and every day.
