Choices upon choices, hundreds every day For each and every single one One thing chosen, others left behind Eggs for breakfast, we give up pancakes Give up a long, hot shower To be on time to work this day Choose to be a parent or pet owner Leave some personal freedoms behind Our choices often haunt us As free will is not adorned with wisdom No, that gift comes more with age And the real life consequences of� You guessed it � choices We love to say, �I didn�t mean to� in the wake of a careless choice But I say live with purpose and on purpose And mean to do what we choose to do

Choices are a necessity to live our life. Our lives are the way it turns out because of the ones we've made. Thank you for sharing.

What would we be if choices were not made? It is the changes from these decisions that make us who we are, better to live with our decisions than to not live fully within indecision...

nice work on this view of though Karen....

I choose to say to you, bravo, your choice to write this poem is very thought provoking and I truly thank you. Without choices, we have no freedom of free will to live, to think, and to help others.

Peace, Love, and Light,

A write that we can relate to my friend, for we all have choices to make daily. Sometimes we make the right ones, sometimes we don't...but that's how we learn in life. Enjoyed, you've express it well!
Blessings,

i too believe that we should never regret or feel guilty by any choice we have made, personal empowerment means we have chosen and we believe it is the perfect choice for that moment, well said in this poem
