Life
I could spend my life
Lamenting what I may never have
Or learning
and moving on
With gratitude
I could spend it
Worrying about tomorrow
Or crying about yesterday
Or I can choose to live
Now
I could spend my life
Acquiring material things
Things with no meaning
Or I can use my time
Improving my Self
and my world
I could spend my life
In so many ways
Ignoring emotion
In blind devotion
Pretending
Offending
Or embracing my humanity
As sacred and divine
and offering hope
To all I encounter
(including myself)
and learning to love
My choice is made easy
By one simple truth:
I can imagine no better life
Than one spent learning to love
