Why Can'T We Choose

Why Can't We Choose?

From the time of conception,
After nine months  we were born, Fragile and innocent, 
Totally dependent with our parents. 

We learned to walk and talk,
Played and enjoyed our childhood.
But as we grow older we realized, 
Life on earth seemed  so unfair. 

Not all of us were lucky enough, 
To live a happy and comfortable life. 
Broken families and relationships, 
Children were most affected.

Many have succeed despite poverty,
Proper education was the key. 
With faith and determination, 
A dream came to reality. 

Is it because God has a plan? 
That we were not given the chance, To choose a family we want,
And lived with them in harmony. 

Why do we have to suffer, 
And endure the brokenness. 
For  wealth is not all we need, 
But a peaceful life instead.

Do consider those who have everything they need to enjoy life except self esteem, those born beautiful yet it brought them neither love nor happiness, etc., Being born is like being tossed into the river, we must sink or swim to find our own way out.
