Choices

 

 

Morning has reared its head once again

A new opportunity, a new chance to begin

 

A new day filled with many choices to make

You have to decide which to leave and which to take

 

These choices are yours to do as you choose

You'd best make up your mind, can't afford to snooze

 

Each day is different, no two ever the same

Better make up your mind, someone's calling your name

 

You are in control, don't let others take charge

Find your direction and steer your barge

 

Today I choose to relax, to read and swim and play

The work still needs done, but I'll save it for another day

 

Your reaction to that is really no care of mine

I'm leading my life, I'm doing just fine

 

I made my choice, just me all alone

No one to account to, I'm all on my own

 

Sometimes it's lonely, alone in my world here

The choice is mine, I will not shed a tear

 

Friends are few and between each viewing

A decision I made after much thought and chewing

 

This morning a new day has arrived

There is not much, though I'm not deprived

 

Mornings head shows before the sun shall rise

The quiet time, my time, filled not with a surprise

 

This isolated world that I've managed to create

It suits me just fine, there's nothing to debate

 

It's truly better I know, for all this way

For what I want, there's no price you can pay

 

Alone in my world I shall continue to move on

It means nothing no more, I fear my heart is gone

 

There's nothing I can do, on this I have no control

Only to sit and wait, hoping my heart be given parole

 

This morning, this day, it's mine, it belongs to me

Yet unsuspecting I believe it was taken you see
