Time is precious
Every second
An eternal opportunity
To choose
What to do

The responsibility
Of choosing
How to live
Is great

For suddenly
Life flashes by
And one is old
Older
Greyer
Wiser?

What do we choose to do?
What do we choose?
What is our goal?

The material
Is but a dream
All things formed
Will crumble
And be reformed
Differently

Nothing lasts forever

So to live
To make something last beyond
One’s lifetime
Is a choice

What will it be?

To strike out from the ordinary
And speak out against injustice
Is a choice

To trust oneself
Is a choice

To work for the happiness
Of others
Is
A choice

All will change
But life
Will continue

Whether happy
Or unhappy
Every second
We
Choose
