Choices

A Poem by Kent Smotherman

Choices


I’ve made many choices throughout my life.

Some have brought great joy, others great sorrow.

So as I ponder what else might have been

I see that today leads to tomorrow.


For despite all my mistakes, all the pain,

Those choices brought to me a love so true.

So whether choices made or yet to come

I’d change nothing as long as I have you.


And when I reflect on my love for you

I see your love for me, a love so pure

That I sometimes forget it’s your choices

More than any that help our love endure.


So as we venture into the unknown,

Together and never apart by choice,

Know our love will last without bound or time,

For we face the world, with love as our voice.

This is really good, and has a lot of emotions and depth. I like the images you use in your writing and the flow of your words. I can tell you took your time and wrote from your heart. Great job and keep writing, you have some neat stuff that can go very far if you work for it. Very good. :)
