Choices and Memories

one thing you take with you
is the choices that you make
make your decisions wisely
or turn over at your wake

choices are forever
they make and break your life
some of them are yours to choose
while others make your plight

it doesn't really matter
who's the culprit at this point
it's what lives inside your heart
when you make your final flight

what you leave behind
are the memories of your stay
what's important is to know 
is if you made someone's life, a better day
