Choices 2


Matthew 13:46 

46 When he found a pearl of great value, he went out and sold everything he had and bought it.

 

Choices 2

 

What can I say? An invitation to display my thoughts on the air

A gift played. Truly amazing for me to be with you up there

 

Fleeting thoughts forgotten tomorrow – maybe a seed will be planted

Freely bought with someone’s sorrow – hopefully not really slanted

 

Wintergreen in hibernation – deadness rules in existing life

Could have been quiet frustration in following orders from my strife

 

Children smile in life’s abundance – why the need of growing up?

To face trials in redundance to become tired of getting up

 

For you and me stand daily choices to address needs in this world

To set free thought’s deeper voices to embrace wisdom’s “Great Pearl”
