A Choice Is Mine

Posted on 22nd Oct 2020 by rohit kumar

Life may not let me select my lot,

But whether I'd be happy or not...

That is my choice.

 

To leave hurtful memories behind

Or allow them to bother my mind...

The choice is mine.

 

To fret over a mistake when it's done

Or learn from it and move on...

The choice is mine.

 

To be bothered by all that people say

Or ignore them and go my own way...

The choice is mine.

 

To enjoy what I've been able to gain

Or ungratefully regard it with disdain...

The choice is mine.

 

Sometimes I won't get to pick my lot,

But whether I'll be happy or not

Will always be my choice.
