The Life Not Chosen

Wondering at the twist of fate that has brought me here 
I chose this life before the womb, my spirit questioning,
trying to understand the tasks at hand only to realize 
I chose this life and now I must contend;

What if I had not taken that left at the convergence,  
And taken the right instead, where would I be today?
Hopefully not questioning and examining too.
Did I make the right choice?  That is yet to be seen,
When all is said and done, I can not dwell on the life not chosen
The life I chose is the one I need to live and give thanks for everyday.
