Connie Moore Poet Rhyme

Choices

Choices

I Sat Alone in the Dark One Night
I'm Really Not Sure Why
There Was Nothing on My Mind
As I Gazed at the Midnight Sky

But Then I Thought about My Life
And All the Mistakes I've Made
There Was Nothing I Could Change
But a Few Good Memories Stayed

Especially Times I Laughed
And the Happy Times of Love
The Tragic Moments in My Life
When I Prayed to God above

There Are Two Determined Factors
About Our Life on Earth
We Are Born and We Will Die
And it All Begins at Birth

After That We Have a Choice
What We Become and What We Do
It's Really Kind of Scary
All the Blame of Who We Are...
                               Belongs to Me and You

Allan Koven September 10, 2013 at 3:17 PM Ah another existentialist. You echo in your lovely poem what goes on in the minds of many. Good work, Connie. Allan

Lucilla Carrillo September 4, 2013 at 9:22 PM Hi Connie; I give you a 7 for this poem. You are so right in what you write. Life is full of choices. It's up to us to make the right ones. I try, but sometimes - I still mess up. I guess it's because we are only human. Thanks for sharing..... Lucilla
