As we move through life, decisions we need to take

Some sound and some, in hindsight, a bad mistake

In different times from a different age

The stories are told from a differing page

Life is full of light and shade

Dictated by events and decisions made

All too brief moments of joy

Confined to the box like yesterday’s toy

Dealing with life and the waves of emotion

Turning the tide of our own personal ocean

So when the time comes to decide and choose

Consider what we gain, rather than what we lose
