Choices and consequences

Life sends us clues day by day
to help guide us, and teach us the right way.
It's our choice to listen and follow
the strange voices in our head.
I pray every morning that I too
may make the right choices until I go to bed.
What we learn from our mistakes
shapes us into who we are
and hopefully who we're meant to be.
The world isn't perfect and
it will not stop for you, not even for me.
What do we do when life throws us curves?
Do we swerve and miss?
Do we catch and fall?
Or do we catch it and throw it back?


I don't have all the answers.
I don't even have a clue.
I just hope in the distant future,
that somebody up there forgives me and you.
