Choices

Choose to wake up with appreciation and grace
It will teach you to enjoy life at a pace,

Choose to tell yourself you are loved everyday
It will give you confidence throughout your day, 

Choose to have gratitude when the day begins
It will gift you with unexpected wins,

Choose to forgive yourself for unpleasant behavior
It will remind you, you still have GODS favor,

Choose to sit and converse about an heated disagreement
It will be a solution to resolve anger without resentment,

Choose to have compassion for yourself and another
It will teach you patience to help a few others,

Choose to apologize when you know/knew you are wrong
It will save time from a grudge that can be prolong,

Choose unity; together we are strong
It will dissolve separation that has lasted too long,

Choose to demonstrate and live in peace
It will help the war around the world cease.
