Choices

I have choices, but I choose to love and care.
I have choices, so I’ll breathe in Jesus’ air.

I have choices, I think I’ll meet the devil’s dare.

I have choices, I will lead my life without fear and worry,
And, never get into useless hurries, for God’s time is slower than mine.

I have choices, to show another person what decisions I have made
Then, I will steep my love with kindness, and relieve their burdens with a smile

Telling all who come near me that I have survived my tribulations and my trials, 
   and not to make the same mistakes as I

I have choices, so let me never, with regret, look back and cry, at the sadness
   I have caused
But, with joy, run my race, while praying for endurance to overcome the tests
   that I will face until I reach that glorious entrance that is known as Heaven’s Gate

Hoping that I have made the right choices to gain admittance and to dwell forever
   in that great and holy place!
