Choice

A pile of papers tipped over
and in a minute it was sorted and gone
That wasn't so hard I thought
so another few minutes a different pile gone

Could sorting through my life
be as easy as this
Going through my choices
and changing the ones that don't bring bliss

One choice at a time
in each moment of the day
One pause to choose
the best possible way

Choice is a gift
what we do with it we only know
For no one else can chose
the way that we will go

So grab on to each choice
and make it your own
Stick to the choices
that will make you feel whole

Gone too soon

She opened the blinds and let the light in
Felt of the warmth and could breathe again
Emotions ran high and darkness consumed
The loss of her child, a life gone too soon

She thought she would find strength with each new day
Memories in her mind would continually play
She closed her eyes and tried to make sense of it all
But nothing could explain her terrible fall

She fell to her knees and began to pray
Father please help me, please take this pain away
A feeling of peace came over her, from head to toe
Her Father was aware of her, that much she did know

Weeks became months and months turned into years
Her feelings for her daughter were still so dear
But her pain subsided as she leaned on God
Knowing she would be with her again, helped her move on
