LOVE

Freedom Of Choice

The journey’s been long; and I’m so tired,
acquiring knowledge along the way;

Many consider this lifetime as a quest;
a pilgrimage of exploration;
others keep their opinions close to the vest;
still

Yet To Be

Most of us think we’ve already arrived;
in the future; we’ve yet to see;
instead; most of us have merely survived;

A Measure Of You

Dear Lord, I humbly pray and beseach;
on this; another new day;
