Today I Pondered |
Today I pondered greatly, on the things that are to be, The possibilities of tomorrow, the things I've yet to see; And I came to the realization, though it is not to know, It lies within my power, the direction in which I may go. To venture left or right, is still my choice to make, To live my life for others, or to live for my own sake; To give up the good fight, and whither by the way, Or stand against the tide, and live fully day-to-day. So many courses of action, are mine alone to choose, Sometimes I am the winner, sometimes I have to lose; And considering my mortality, and seldom knowing why, I comfort myself with the way, I choose to live and die. For greater than the death of flesh, is the death of hope, To see my life as meaningless, unable daily just to cope; Without reasons for yesterday, today more endless screams, And tomorrow holds nothing but, the death of all my dreams. I look back and see today, the times that I chose wrong, The obstacles put in my path, helping to make me strong; So I pause and ponder greatly, on what does lie ahead, Ever thankful that I chose God, and not the drugs instead. |
