SHADES OF CHOICE

II.

I see the goodness of life

When I choose the right path

And wear the attire of virtue–

So I choose to love and be loved

That I may give my love as gifts

And plant it like healthy seeds

In the expanse of man’s hearts.

And when I look at the lofty sky

And saw the packets of her light–

I choose the path of faith

That my search for meaning may end,

That I may hold my confidence

In the face of creation

As I journey with purpose

Through this crumbling earth.
