Different

Everybody’s life is very
Different from our own,
For preferences and habits 
Are just ours and ours alone.

It’s strange, but even family
And yes, our closest friends, 
Will make choices not in sync
With what our being recommends.

Of course, there are no rights or wrongs - 
Each person is unique
And finding what works best for us
Is what we all do seek.

I marvel at the ways in which 
We choose from life’s buffet,
Our meals so varied though we face
The same exact display.

Mind you if we were all the same then life would be boring, everyday would be the same old same old. Tom
