Titles, My Quotes of the Day

When that day comes

Choices, what they have made me to be

Choices, where would I be without them?

Behind the secretive wall, where tears rule the world. Infront of the niceness wall, where disappointment is the boss of all. Above the revealing roof where seclusion is the star of the show. 

Lord, is this where I stop dreaming and start regretting?

If only I could bring those days back and do a redo  

What would I be without poetry?. That I can read others and write my own, changing my world and taking my blues away

I refuse to fear. I cannot fear

My mind opens with each new sun. Expecting anything but hoping for the best

My greatest work is still in the making. I cannot lose focus

God is a better insurance. Other things need to be erased from my life. My happiness 1st and my dignity 1st too

Whatever it becomes. Whatever the consequences, Lord give me strength

And as I close my eyes, ready for a stress-free sleep, may the sleeping beast never see new day. May it continue to sleep forever, and may I continue to be gifted with new dawn

Goodbye pain. I know your shadow still lingers on but from now on I hold my colorful umbrella protecting me from you and the likes of you.

The gift of "Choice" a special gift God blessed us is a wonderful gift but to make the right one is the hardest of them all temptation comes into play like Eve with the apple in her mind she thought she was making the right choice.But we learn by our mistakes. Wonderful write of pondering a 10+++++ Hugs Eve
