Our Choice Poem by Aufie Zophy
Our Choice
Walking on a hot and scorching day
We meet a splitting of the way
A way downwards looking shady, some trees are there
A way upwards, sandy without trees, just looking bare
Somewhere deep inside we know
The downwards shady path goes low
And down that place, there is no tree
Just heat and sweat and more ennui
Somewhere deep inside we are aware
That the way up, though initially a little bare
Will bring us to a place with lots of shade and big relief
It is God’s way, so I believe
Shall we choose the way below with instant pleasure?
Leading down to a place of heat, we cannot measure
Or shall we make little effort on the upper way?
And enjoy shade and breeze day by day

Many a times we find ourselves blaming our destiny, people and sometimes even the lord for the misfortunes that come to us in life But often we forget the choice we made to bring that misfortune to ourselves, the lord is always with us, we also do hear his voice when we are making a choice and the voice comes from inside us. Fantastic piece of work 10+
