My child,Can you hear me,
speaking softly to your ear
to tell you things that I know
To help you through your years
Come sit on my lap,
listen to a lifetime of memories,
kept with care
Sleep my child
Dream all your dreams
I hope they all come true,
Because my only future
lies in what BECOMES OF YOU
It took meeting you
to finally understand
what love....isn't
It took holding your hand
to realize imitating pleasure
only causes hideous pain
It took reading your smile
to believe my self-worth
wasn't based on how much you cared
It took tasting your lips
to comprehend that lies are most often
dipped in sweet honey
It took reaching out for your soul
to grasp the knowledge
that pain is inevitable
It took handing you my heart
to know deep inside
that you will never know
the feel of a true love
for you, yourself, are incapable
of giving such a treasure
We chose how we shall live...
Courageously or Cowardice
Honorably or Dishonorably
With purpose or in a drift
We decide what is important to us
We decide what is trivial in life
We decide what makes us significant is either;
What We Do,
OR
What We Refuse To Do...
We decide
We Chose
And
As we decide
As we make our own choices.....
So we have formed our own lives
