Choice

Choice

The pain and troubles have already been endured
Now you have grown and matured
Move on and wipe away your tears
Resist by overcoming your fears
Dont allow them to consume
Dont ignore the flowers bloom
Enjoy the beauty bestowed before you
Defy evil plans being construed
Stay in search of things that bring joy
And rebuke the things that destroy
Listen to that inner voice
Happiness is a choice

Good Morning:

Great flow,
It is very joyful to see you shine with another excellent piece.

Attending Rally is not about one time fun, if you keep following other participants, they may keep following you, then friendship develops and best wishes.

you are very smart by giving me a comment, otherwise, I may not be reminded to jump here and enjoy your work!

happiness is indeed a choice if you look at it that way.. you can be in self pity, feel sad.. but you can look at things on a different side.. lovely piece of poetry :)

Happiness is def a choice and that my friend is a start to defying the devils plan. If you decide that you are happy everyday when you wake up in the morning when bad things happen u will take them in stride. I love it. Thanks 4 sharing.

I write from my heart and whatever appears on paper, forms magically….In sharing my experiences, I hope to help others through their trials and tribulations…If my pain could give hope to others, then it makes my pain all worth it!

Hello Jstar,

This is such a beautiful poem, I love it! I really admire your ability to produce poems from the bottom of your heart--like a duende that has taken over your voice and words...Wow...

(Hang on, I'm still staring at the pretty purple page theme) Anyways, nice job--Looking forward to reading more from you soon :-)

Best,
