YOUR LIFE YOUR JOURNEY YOUR CHOICE,

So you are getting on in your years,
Don’t be a misery, or lonely or shed tears,
What is important to you,
Think carefully, see things through.

Think, who you are, first and foremost,
Don’t mess up your life and make it toast,
Exist, and become one life, one soul
Don't dig yourself a hole and become a mole.

Don’t complicate things, go with the tide, 
Whatever is thrown at you, let be in your stride,
Challenges, culture, passions and much more,
You have understood that life’s a journey, oh lore!

It is a puzzle, the pieces are finally coming together,
Being unique as every human being is, do whatever,
Relax, go nude if you want, have a child at 40, have a tattoo,
Ignore the ought and musts, enjoy the ride join the queue,
                YOUR LIFE, YOUR JOURNEY, YOUR CHOICE .

Yes, each one's life is one's own choice. Do whatever seems fair and good to you. Do not cringe before others who try to destroy your self respect through curt remarks and wrong allegations. Focus on pleasing oneself and not others. Great thoughts well presented in rhyming verse. Sending you love!
