Every day we have a choice
A choice to give, or to take
A choice to love, or to hate
A choice to listen, or to lash-out
A choice to do good, or to do harm
A choice to build up, or to tear down
A choice to move forward, or to give up
Every choice, a fork in the road
One direction wide and well-worn
Many run down this path
Yearning to fit in, to find relief
A powerful current that tugs at the soul
The other path daunting and rough
Few risk the unknown through the pain
Fear whispers lies as we consider this way
Yet the breeze smells sweetly of peace
Every thought a battle
Which path will we choose
The broad road to destruction
Or the narrow road to LIFE
A choice to give, or to take
A choice to love, or to hate
A choice to listen, or to lash-out
A choice to do good, or to do harm
A choice to build up, or to tear down
A choice to move forward, or to give up
Every choice, a fork in the road
One direction wide and well-worn
Many run down this path
Yearning to fit in, to find relief
A powerful current that tugs at the soul
The other path daunting and rough
Few risk the unknown through the pain
Fear whispers lies as we consider this way
Yet the breeze smells sweetly of peace
Every thought a battle
Which path will we choose
The broad road to destruction
Or the narrow road to LIFE
"broad is the road that leads to destruction...narrow is the road that leads to life." - Matthew 7
