"choices"

We make or break ourselves from lifes choices we make..
A fork in the road where we choose whether to loose or to take..
What makes us what we are today is not falling , but not getting up..
I have lived a life where wrong sometimes was right..
Where not doing good at times took me from the dark to the light..
Without mistakes and sins the world would be a tad bit boring..
It would be nothing more then a picture or a drawing..
So a word to the wise, walk with head up and a chin in the air...
Lifes to short to dwell on things and wonder whats is fair.

Great topic that you have chosen in this one..I experienced the fork in the road question to my self recently when I viewed a part of my life and I wonder what would have happen if I had taken that path...It is true it is not failing at something that ruins us but is not getting up to try again...Keep the thought provoking writes flowing..Sara
