Tough Decisions

Opportunities come and go,
From all directions as the wind blows.
Making it near impossible to ever know,
Which way, one should choose to go.

The choices we make each day,
Effect someone in some way.
Many of life’s decisions are tough,
Nothing we do seems to be enough.

Not every choice is a simple coin flip,
Try memorizing an album or movie scripts.
The reason for a decision at times unclear,
Driving in fog not waiting for the air to clear.

No matter the path you ultimately take,
Be confident in the choices you make.
Whether the cause be it good or bad,
We won’t know until you step on the track.
