choose wisely
every decision can cuddle or bite you
every choice can help or hurt
every move you make can show that you care
or share that you do not even notice
listening and learning is super important
your children miss nothing
they are the experts at this
choose wisely
Honest appraisal and sharing of verified
information in matters of health ( at least.!!!) I cant see it happening in other resources..Fields, as human failings and greed
Are so innate.' Its hellish when I ponder
It.? Every earthly situation to be leveraged.'
And for proceeds that don't go with us
Past the grave.' Or??? Maybe??? There are
Proceeds waiting us there? What type
Depends on our investments now maybe.?
Just a thought before bed.'
When health scares are touted.' Check saftey rules are not
Flouted, or all futures may well end up being worse.'
My advice is; try not to be (too science averse)!
I have a little malady; it feels like leprosy or maybe it just looks like it
The recipient of chicken pox twice, slap cheek and now shingles,
I could spend my life being irritated, angry, lamenting my fate
They have not lasted five days, they have lasted five years
One day I said let’s ignore them, maybe they will go away
They do not go away, and I sit on them, on my left side
So, you can imagine this is truly comfortable.
Not!
We tried seven remedies; I cannot take a shingles shot until they go away.
My doctor said “they may never go away;
this was the worst-case I had ever seen.”
Okay, if we are going to live together shingles,
then I will to do a lot better job of ignoring you.
I can throw salve on you sometimes,
but other than that, you are not wasting my time.
I choose poetry, I choose art, I choose cartooning. I choose my dogs.
You take very little of my mind or my thoughts.
My choice, my outlook, my attitude.
I am choosing wisely.
The stiff neck from counterfeit blues…
I read about that in the news.
A guy from Sao Paulo
said he too can’t swallow,
but feels pretty good when he chews.

Depression and heartache and yearning -
common throughout all the years,
general amongst all the masses,
driven by so many fears.
It’s truly the struggle of ages,
despite born of mansion or cave.
Is life the thing that you’re living,
or is it life that you crave?
It's tied to a question so simple -
just what do you live your life for?
Do you live to live in the moment,
or are you searching for more?
But also it boils down to choices,
just how you spend your free time.
And of opportunity, what do you take -
do you grab and try to align
the way that you're living with all that you want?
That's really the question you see.
The one that you'll spend your days looking back on...
throughout all eternity.
Eternity exits through the back door
Temporality would have it all ...
PRESERVE RELUSH- Choose Wisely your What Guards
Your Heart for We are Products of our Environment
The rain mine tears, earthen grounds lusted flesh
I am that I am a light
I am that I am in His sight
Created soul I so shine ever bright
Terrain grounds fervent rains swollen trees
Non disant I am that I am
Heavenly being shining bright- I am light
Darkness please there be nothing in creation
Stand though I am in the atmosphere environment
Nothing on this Earth or universe
Nothing shall in me be dispersed
For God in you, with you, you're the wise shielding part
That guards my heart
As I am a product of our environment
I Choose Wisely what God's my heart

In choices we ponder, tread with care..
For consequences linger... so be aware.
Should our paths split, setting us free..
Consider wisely, is it she or is it me?
For hearts entwined and emotions shift..
Determine well lest our souls be adrift.
Pause, grasp the rhyme, and choose with woe..
Your choice will reflect how our friendship grows.
Hank built the loveliest quirkiest cottage for his wife, Finn.
She had specific ideas, and incorporated each one in.
Everyone who saw it wanted one for themselves and asked.
But Finn said “no, this was a labor of love that Hank amassed.
No one else is getting a quirky cottage like mine, it’s one of a kind.”
We all loved this cottage and Hank; she had married a gold mind.

YOUR TIME WILL COME
Use your time as wisely as you can
For you know not when the end comes
When you may lay in your grave
So be a ray of sun
Show others you care
Love on your face
Every day
Will bring
Joy

Women there's many fish in the sea
All kinds for your open eyes to see
When your high tides come to rise and spree
With a right match just waiting to be
Yet the fish that's in distress and is not free
Is the one that drops you to your knee
Like, why, the forbidden fruits in a tree
You fall for this pick and short lived glee
To his T, his spell starts with the letter vee
You're his game on, and lock to his key
Yet when his picnics over he has to flee
Back to his kid's, and wife's cup of tea
Your hearts a broken, like a golf ball on a tee
He's driven you all over the course, gee
Women be wise to the myths of the sea

Every word you utter lingers in the air
As a bullet, an arrow, a flower, or a mystical love bead
So, make it something compassionate, empathetic and kind
This will make your sleep more restful, and it will bring you friends
Also bringing you trust, loyalty, and joy.
Everything you do has the potential of uplifting or encouraging others.
Your choices might seem simple, and unimportant, never believe that.
People are watching you constantly, making decisions.
Deciding if you are trustworthy, if you are kind, if you are loyal.
Choosing wisely brings you a life of happiness and hope.
If you can only choose one thing today, choose to be kind.
And use compassionate caring words.
