Life comes at us every day
Today’s choices have much to say
Right now, Option A looks quite good
Wishing for luck, knocking on wood
Infinite possibilities
Some become liabilities
One choice navigates life forward
Life seems so straightforward
Another turns life upside-down
Flipping plans into dark ghost town
Daily question: What choice to make?
Tomorrow’s answer now at stake
Opportunities from choices
Watch out for temptation’s voices
Making choices, powerful tool
Please just one, become a jewel
Life’s mistakes searching for feedback
Answers help to keep us on track
Menu of choices fills desires
Lighting up our inherent fires
Near life’s hot stove, always aware
Certain choices may burn, beware
Searching with hands, hearts, and minds
Our next choice, what will it now find?

This made me think of what Joshua said- “Choose who you will serve as for me and my house we will serve the Lord.”

Thank you Vickie. While I continue to enjoy crafting Christian poetry, stepping back into general poetic themes keeps my poet’s pen sharp. While God blesses the ability to make (wise) choices, He praises our choice to accept His Son and believe in His Word.

I choose Christ! I’ve made bad choices in my life at times~and I’m so thankful for the convictions of the Holy Spirit that led me to making better choices. I really feel those decisions led me to the best and most intimate relationship with my Heavey Father! We have TOO many choices in this way of life don’t we? Great poem, Richard, as always! Blessings to you and yours. 💛
