LOVE ON OUR SIDE
I imagine when we look into our hearts…when we probe the corners of our soul…
we’ll find moments in our life…over which we have no control.
Moments that help shape the person in the mirror every day we see…
moments left entirely in the hands of destiny.
For all those skeptics out there who totally disagree….
remember…we didn’t choose to be born…we didn’t choose our family.
We didn’t choose the color of our hair, our eyes…if we’d need glasses just to see
We didn’t choose how tall we’ll be, the foods we like…or the gender we will be.
And though it’s true part of who we are is influenced by our destiny
we also get to choose the kind of person we want to be.
We are free to make these choices…the ones I’m thinking of
We can choose compassion, acceptance, generosity, kindness.
We can choose happiness and love.
Choosing to see how everything created has importance, value and worth.
Choose to love every member on our extended family…Earth.
We may not be able to control every aspect of our lives…
but in the end we can take pride….
knowing the choices we make are easier…
when love is on our side.
And for those who for one reason or another
have decided to choose hate…
the beauty of choice is…
when you decide you’re choosing love
it never is too late.
