A Life Time Of Choices

The choices I have made and
The dreams I have dreamed
May not all have come true
But I am glad I had them

Life is as a carousel of horses
Each dream has its own beauty
Never changing from being
A dream even if not fulfilled

Where is it written our
Choices or dreams have to
Reach perfection can anyone
Say what that really is or not?

If my choices caused
Human suffering I am sorry
To take the chance is human
Hopefully I learned from them

If I made choices earning Merit
I am pleased, for choices made
Falling in grace I’m still pleased
Having courage to make them

We only have so many directions
To go but twice as many choices
To make may we have wisdom and
Long-suffering making right ones

Yes a lifetime of choices and decisions to make over those choices...very well written!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

I love this, not just those lines, but the entire message!!

You might want to change a couple of these words here:

May not all of come true
(change to have)

A dream even if not for-filled
(change to fulfilled)

This poem really pointed some things out that I haven't really taken the time to ponder on. I'm glad it made me stop and think.

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD
