ABOUT CHOICES WE MAKE IN OUR LIFE...WHAT CHOICE WILL YOU MAKE?

CHOICES

CHOICES

By

Clarence Marsh

In my life I have faced many trials and tribulations

I was told as a child I would die

I asked my family what to do and they said pray

I turned to my faith and received a blessing

I was spared when others gave up hope and perished

I kept my faith

Many obstacles stood before me…

But with my faith we conquered them together

Life is about choices

We can choose to believe or not believe in faith

But when faced with death

We all seem to fall on bended knee and ask for forgiveness

Or why me!

Many years later I am still here, not because I am better then you

But because I believed in my faith and never gave up

When you wake up every morning do you say thank you

Or just take for granted another day will come?

I say thank you every day and pray for another

Because no one is promised tomorrow

When faced with choices there is no need to make them alone

Take a minute in your own private space and make a choice

Will I believe in fate or faith?

Deep, faith driven, accepting, aware and thankful . Poem invites one to focus on the importance of choices we make and what we are blessed with in life and not always expecting more.

Thank you for your concern but I am balanced and can write with feelngs without hurting myself in a neagative way. The glass is always half full in my daily life not half empty.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
