I Choose

I choose To be the calm within the storm I will not add to the madness Anger will not be my companion Truly a calmer spirit can prevail I choose You over me It is not all about me Ego will not direct my path Within your special I will dwell I choose To live within this moment The past has lost its power Sadness can no longer satisfy Only the now is really here I choose To give of what I have It was never mine to hold onto Selfishness will not rule my days There is enough beyond my need I choose More than the temporary Treasures stored in a heavenly realm Love will be my companion "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"

"I Choose" contains the poetic road map to peace, love and joy. These are treasures, we can take with us, when we go! Stellar, Richard! my best, chuck
