Choices
December 24, 2008
Glass half empty,
Glass half full,
Become a puppet,
Or have strings to pull,
Flow without meaning,
Down a river so slow,
Or get hold of a paddle,
And conquer as you go,
Be led by others,
Or lead them yourself,
Be a top-notch model,
Or an old book on a shelf,
Don’t think that the choice,
Is someone else’s to choose,
Sound you own voice,
Or be a mat for their shoes,
Glass half empty,
Glass half full,
Choices, choices,
Full up the bowl.
