Decisions

Decisions, some are easy, but for others we pray
For guidance, to help us choose the right way 

Right or wrong it’s best to decide
Remember the wrong choice may be rectified

If you make no choice others will make it
Then it’s not your choice, but you have to take it

Some will say it was destiny, meant or not meant to be
But fate, is the courage to choose what you want it to be

When the decision you make, for you it may be best
When others decide it’s not for you, but the rest

You can lead by choosing which path you will take
Or follow by leaving to others the choices to make

This lesson I’ve learned, now no other will guide
Right or wrong, I’ll be the one who decides

Don’t leave to others to choose your fate
Unfortunately, I learned this lesson too late
