My Choices

Here me out. I've made choices and decisions that on the surface seem, well, unwise and for others, even unfathomable. I know all people always think their choices are right (even when their wrong) and that they are wise, wise beyond their years, wise beyond other's expectations. We set ourselves apart, that our decisions are subject to many variables, most of them only known to us. The merits of our decisions are not partitioned and measured with the precision of the local butcher when he massacres then measures his meat. Thought is put into it. More like the mixing of the chemicals by the pharmacist.
My choices are made after careful considerations, weighing of the options and learning from experiences. You may not know it, you may never come to see, but I am wiser than you, I know more about what is going on. Its a wisdom that is only gotten from running your own life and seeking consult when you feel you might falter. I'm glad for my choices, glad for my decisions, see reason behind them, just the way you do about yours. I am not none the wiser. I'm on track. We are all wiser than each other. We all make our choices. We are at peace with our choices.

Choices

The choices we make, we deem them unique
We have different reasons, for many things we seek
I know what you're thinking, even before you speak
You want to let me know, when life is still at its peak
That life is not one long lucky streak

That others think they are right, even when they are wrong
They think they are wise, even when they are not
and some people's wisdom, we'll never get to know
Though at times, they may really try to show
Just how much, they have really come to grow

I may tell you, time and time again
That I know what I'm doing, my mind is not frail
That so many of my reason, are concealed behind a veil
Of quiet reason, of life unchained
That goodness and wisdom, in my mind prevail

Though you might be doubtful, though you may not see
My choices have bound me, my choices have set me free
Through my choices I develop, by choice I am complete
It's reached through reflection, not suddenly
And in God's wisdom, choice is what He has given me
