Our Options
We each of us make choices –
Where to live and what to wear,
The type of work we’ll do
And just how much of life we’ll share.
A thousand small decisions
Factor in to who we are,
Determining how close we’ll get
To goals (or else how far).
Our options float before us
Every day that we’re alive.
We pick them or ignore them
So we wither or we thrive.
Though some of us are lucky
With alternatives galore,
We all make our selections
‘Til we cannot anymore.
