Answer Well
I weep for what was
Yearning for comfort I reminisce
and remember
If allowed,
I could stay here a very long time
But the past holds not my potential
only lessons that
when practiced
prepare me more
For the joys ahead and
the sorrows yet to come
How will I live my life yet lived?
The future is determined in
the smallness of each moment's choice
What shall I carry?
What shall I leave behind?
What shall I cherish?
What shall I protect?
In each moment
With each choice
We answer the questions
of life
Answer carefully.
Answer lovingly.
Answer well.
