Life and Choices.

I painted a perfect picture with poetry as regards life and choices. Everything about life calls for choices...from major decisions to tiny ones which we tag inconsequential but they make up a sizeable chunk of our lives. Enjoy the collection of my poems for this topic.

Life Is A Choice.

There is calmness in the streets but my thoughts echoed thunder

I'm allowing the calmness around me to influence my thoughts

As I enjoy the beauty around me in the simple things of life

I saw a pretty older lady running across the street

She chose to be healthy over rolling underneath the sheet

I saw an adorable pretty lady walking a dog thrice her size

I understand strength is not in body size but it's deep within

Everyone going about their daily activities that bring food to the table

Trying to make ends meet and not just spend hours watching the cable

Life is a choice as we choose the path that we feel keeps us stable

There is a working system which everyone must follow as with life

Life is a choice and how we choose to live is up to us

It's easier to either get encouraged or discouraged

It's all about what we choose to internalize by the things we see

Living is a choice, staying motivated is also a choice

We are mostly a product of the choices we make by the things we can influence

I Always Look Up.

Situations of life is sometimes designed to get us down

By those who have the power here on earth not by God

God is mindful of us and He is not a wicked Father

There are powers on earth bent on getting us down

A lot of people look down rather than look up

Life will discourage you and people will snuff your optimism

Rather than look up to other humans you better look up

Look up child, help is from above not abroad

Look up man, help is right on the corner, keep pushing

Look up lady, you don't need to go that route, God's got you

Tough times exist and won't cease but know God is constant through it all

I look up because that is where my help comes from

I've been let down many times and that's God's way of telling me

Telling me to look up to Him rather than another human

Isn't it better to look up to the Creator rather than the created?

Your situation can look very different from God's point of view

Look at your circumstances from the framework of God's character

Instead of looking at God's character from the context of your own circumstances

Look up... Help is coming to you... Stay in faith

Choices.

Whatever you want in life you have to grab with both hands

There are no hands down so you have to work hard for things

We weren't told this is how life would be hahaha

Our parents did so well to hide the stress and the pain

We felt life would always go, yielding to our demands

Now everyone knows that whatever you got for free, someone else paid for it

Even in Freetown things are not free, so you have to work

The grinding never stops, we keep pushing to have a better life

We keep beating the odds and stressing ourselves to stay ahead

Life doesn't come with a manual - we live, make mistakes and learn

Sometimes you have to go the extra miles just so you can earn

I chart my course...I direct my life in the way that I choose

I choose to go the direction that God points me at

I am willing to walk all the length of it and won't stop

Speed is useless when the direction is lacking

Make sure you carve your own path and give it all it takes

I am on the path and it's a choice...it wasn't forced and I will give all it takes

Thank you for your time.
