Life's Choice

If there was no tomorrow you would
(a)come out of winter of discontent to walk in the 
    garden of spring to enjoy 
(b)walk down the memory lane, live the beautiful times 
(c)say thank you to those who loved you and you loved
(d)pray to God to have a place in heaven.
 
When you become old you would detest to
(a)become a log of dry driftwood
(b)find the familiar faces turn away
(c)see the memory of youth fade to oblivion
(d)feel forsaken as the helping hands disappear.

If you are granted one wish by God that would be to
(a)recover fully from failing health
(b)find the abode of peace in tormenting times
(c)become a billionaire
(d)be loved as you are.
