A Choice

We live in a world of treacherous pathways We live in a world of doubt, fear and pain A world of great riches and unspeakable poverty But life is only one thing it is what we make of it We can look at all the negatives and existing hell Or within ourselves we can create our own world If we choose we can soar to the stars and back We can believe in ourselves and all we can do We can if we look, find true friends and understanding We can reach out and embrace each and every beautiful day Like a child reborn we can wash away the pain Get rid of what should have been and all battles lost There are always obstacles to be fought, let’s stride forward Stretch out a hand and somewhere find comfort and love We are not alone in this world we are all together Today we are ruled by the latest inventions Thrown into a state of stress if they do not work And yet simplicity is possibly all we really crave Simple moments like taking time to appreciate nature Eating a simple hot dog or listening to incredible music That lifts the spirit and soars it to another plain Oh yes we can find negatives in almost anything But let’s all look for the positive, we live we breath We love, laugh and cry and somehow we all survive.
