Carol A. Hand
We all make choices in life
I’m no exception.
Should I focus on fear and enmity
Or peace and affection?
Should I greet the day with to-do lists
The moment that I rise
Or take the time to reflect on beauty
And be open to surprise?
It’s true I have little control
Over what others choose to do
But on this lovely morning it’s my choice
To send my best wishes to you.
