Choices

Ah!
The many ways
and times, we
Can pick and choose
No new news
Started when you were
A kid and did
What you wanted to
Most times...

Depending on your generation,
Ate what you wanted ...chose when...
Chose which parent you loved best
Put them to the test...Yes!
Of course we are often influenced
By those who think they know what
We need and want from day to day...

Hey!
Don't take it if you don't like it, from them
Or anyone!
Be your best self, at all times, following
Your own path in search of truth and the
Light that will keep you empowered as long
As you don't block the way of another's truth
With always the same thought back to you.

Choices!
Make them wisely...and
If they don't turn out they way you hoped they would...don't blame it on your mother!

Or Father!

Remember...

You have the power!
