Choices~Rictameter

by Poet on the Piano   Apr 2, 2009


Choices.
Both good and bad,
Always gnawing away,
Never seeming to be extinct,
Pushing you straight to the center spotlight.
Spinning all life in directions,
Be deeply observant,
Think about your,
Choices.

    Good job on the format, MaryAnne:)

    Choices....sometimes we have to make them without having access to all the data that is needed to make a fair one. Life can be so hard at times:)

    Excellent work, as usual:)

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
