A Choice Bouquet
Choice is a coin, to win or lose,
creating fate by what you choose.
Try to choose the wisest way
and seize the moments of each day!
(The cage of choices chose by chance
can bind in chains of circumstance.
You're shackled when you're meant to dance
and step by painful step advance.)
Yes, seize each moment of each day.
(You've got to try to, anyway.)
Despite the bite of doubts within
always try to choose to win.
Yes, try to choose to live without
all of the doubts you think about.
Don't borrow sorrow from tomorrow.
Tomorrow's time enough for sorrow.
