Choose what you love

Just words

                         Choose what you love

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy your life,

life wait for no-one.

Create pretty photos for the heart.

Dance with your beloved,

show the children the beauty of the sea and the forest.

Be the kind voice,

be the one,

where the family and friends can come to,

feel safe.

Choose what you love,

love what you do.

Better to live for love then to die for things we didn't need.

I pray in 2020, we learn.

Every child is a light of hope.

We learn,

no-one win in war, except contractors.

Our children, our true wealth.

I pray we stand against hunger, against hate and racism.

I pray our governments,

send food, water and medicine to places in need.

Please choose the road you love.

Make every new day, a blessing.

The sentiment rings with truth john. As we grow in age...hopefully we come to understand what is truly important...the children. We were them at one time and now it is our turn to impart the wisdom handed done from our elders. We can only do the best we can to make a difference...each in our own little way.

Good words my friend...well done.

Happy holidays to you and yours

Coyote, I think this is the anthem of a wise, experienced man. I find tenderness and sincerity in your poem, and the hard realities of our time (like the “except contractors”verse). So, true. A lesson to share with all. Good music, too. Best wishes to you and yours.

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I been to war. I learn, everything cost and someone is making money off war. I pray we invest into our children, not war.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear John.... a lovely prayer for our children and their future.
Flowers have so much meaning... like us... they only live for
a short existence. Let us trust that our world of Politics
will be more realistic for our children... where Parties can compromise and
use their time to mend and build in areas where progress is needed.
Every Politician will leave this World... we trust... having made it... better than before.
truly, Pat

I pray for better days dear Pat. Our leaders are fighting between each other. Not helping our world. Need good paying jobs and opportunity for the children. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

the children need something to grow up in besides a cesspool of hate.
beauty is what we make of it...and we can if we give it a try.

I agree my friend. I pray we learn. Children are not the tool of war. They are the future. Thank you for reading and the comment.
