SHADES OF CHOICE

I.

The cock crows

And the world wakes from sleep

To bounce on his earthly toes.

The birds of dawn spread their wings

And take to the sky of skies

Where mortals cannot reach–

And when the doors open

I choose the door of life.

The doors open with ease
And the riches within beckons me

So I choose joy

Whose presence I enjoy–

I choose the peace of life

That my days may be full–

I choose to always smile

That my wealth may never die,

That I may always be bright

Like the constellations in the sky.
