Choices

As we get older we can all choose how we live. There are many choices...some easier than others. No two people are the same and therefore what’s right for one won’t be right for others. My poem today explores some of the choices we make. 

CHOICES

As the years pass

There are choices

To be made

To grow old gracefully

Or grow old disgracefully

To live an active life

Or live a sedentary life

To occasionally go for a run

Or permanently sit on the bum

To be tee total

Or to drown in alcohol

To visit distant places

Or stay with familiar faces

To have a balanced diet

Or indulge in a daily fry up

To save for a rainy day

Or spend up before pay day

To be in a crowd feel all at home

Or to be isolated all alone

To engage in face to face communication

Or to totally rely on gadget electrification

To live life with one soulmate

Or be a fluttering butterfly on a date

To be guided by daily challenging goals

Or to waft along like long lost souls

To take care in appearance dress to impress

Or to wear scruffy rags couldn’t care less

To continue to develop read lots of books

Or watch reality tv, think education sucks

As the years pass

There are choices 

To be made

To make the right choice

There is only one voice

That voice is yours!
