Choices










I have many options to choose in life
They can lead to joy or strife
Options appear every day
Choices, I make set the way

Consequences are profound on what I select
The decision I make can have a great affect
Following my own wants and desires
May not lead to the best that is required

As I process it can be a struggle
I have many options that I juggle
Its my life and I am the boss
But this mindset can cause a great loss

It can bring an inner turmoil in my head
Mental gymnastics, multiple thoughts spread
As I tussle with the pros and cons
Whether to make the best choice and walk on

It's up to me and my choice,
Yet a different way has a voice
This way is to pause and consider
Thinking of others is much bigger

In our hearts may love reign
As selfish thoughts just drain
Choices we make effect everything
Thinking of others gives life a spring

  Forgiveness Forgive and let go is what they say, Can past hurts wait until another day, This turnaround may not be quick, Words and wounds build walls that are thick Just saying I forgive, is so hard, Words don't  work when I'm scarred Try going deeper and process these things And then see what this new journey brings It starts with an intentional thought Changes in me that need to be sought Express your feelings as a start You can even try writing, movement or art Cry out for help to The Father above This will lead to a covering of love Loosen the grip around this hurt Be courageous and do not divert Holding on to hurt with a tight grip Only sees your inner peace slip Unforgiveness can only cause pain The choice to let go is what remains The injustice or hurt can feel so raw But starting to forgive opens a prison door  It’s hard to forgive and stay emotionally sound But don't be mistaken forgiveness can be found I forgive, is not just a word or two But an intentional c...
