Choices
Posted by Erin Mansfield
To blindness turns the heart and mind
When we forget the test of time
To stand before our well laid plans
And cheat our neighbors and our friends
How easy it is to pretend
That there is only one choice to be had
Instead perhaps we can admit
Sometimes our hearts have selfish fits
We forget the road is rarely easy
Sometimes life is like a race,
But life often takes a slower pace
There are storms that bring sudden change
Yet change also comes in subtle ways
So take the time to do what's right
Even if it hurts more than you'd like
You never know when something small
Will make the difference, after all
