LIfe's Choices
By Samuel E. Stone


An intelligent person lives from day to day,
never really knowing what might come their way,
facing life’s obstacles which seem to abound,
yet gaining new insight magnificently profound.

Life is an adventure of unvariable measure,
cast in the midst of undaunted pleasure,
shadowed by fear and even terror,
cautiously traveled in avoidance of error.

Seeking new avenues never explored,
prevents the soul from becoming bored,
bringing fulfilment and all it’s reward,
comes with a cost, a cost we must afford.

Living to the fullest is not an easy task,
the choice is yours until the cycle pass,
for then it’s gone into the night,
leaving only the brightness of the light.

Think positive and be not afraid,
to lift your head proudly and join the parade,
marching with pride, building memories never to forget,
accepting the good and the bad without regret.
