Choices

I sit and think of my Daily routines,
Of my past and future happenings.
Was my choices I made right or wrong,
Or should I have taken a different path.

In the past I've had my ups and downs,
No goals were set or wrote in stone.
My eyes were closed and I couldn't see,
What kind of future laid ahead of me.

Instead of looking back at my past,
It's time I took control of my life.
Wake up I say and open my eyes,
There are many stairs for me to climb.

I reach the top and then I see,
So many many opportunities.
I finally found the one for me,
I am jumping for joy and celebrating me.

Great poem.. Sometimes difficulties of the past is what cause us to be blinded to the future. But what is for us will always be for us. It's just a matter of time
