The Choice by Tim Lawrence
You know my Friend there’s prudence in an optimistic view
for dark imagined peril, has no place in life renewed
A soul aligned with fear has made a devastating pact
The role of anguished victim is an all consuming act
A heavy heart diminishes the beauty of the morn
A hopeless mind obscured by doubt is rakish weak and torn
Forgiveness is a sword that cleaves the darkness into day
And Faith a shield of Providence which holds despair at bay
The countenance of joy, tarries not in guilt and blame
The conscientiously happy suffers not the weight of shame
The pitfalls and the pratfalls are but pylons on our road
The weights and woes we face will make us stronger by the load
We are Warriors of our destiny and Guardians of our fate
To heal and bind anew is not an insubstantial trait
To draw upon the limitlessness of love within our hearts
Is to truly share the gift that each new blessed day imparts
For each sunrise holds a promise, each horizon’s new light, gold
The choice of dreams’ fulfillment... of ecstasy untold
Life’s greatest gift is Life itself, and the Power it entails
Our outlook is our choosing, and our option to prevail
This world is ever changing, its’ pace a mad turnstile
Yet time and space are no match for a shared and tender smile
So seize the dawning sunlight with every fiber of your soul
Make today your “day of days”, and a loving heart your goal
Make each day your marionette, and give to them your voice
Take a pass on pessimism and let rapture be your choice
When the curtain falls on your journey, be fulfilled with lessons learned
Choose a life of Peace and Glory; no regret, no stone unturned
If there’s a place for me in Heaven, I shall humbly share my worth
In the meantime I’ll be busy, having a Heavenly day on earth !
*With thanks to God, for TODAY, and the POWER to make it one of my choosing!

Laugh as much as you breathe
and love as long as you live ( enthusiastically)
