We can choose our friends but not our family <br />That is how it is and it will always be <br />Our life choices limited it does seem to me <br />Though with that there would be some to disagree <br />Some believe that we choose our parents happens to be true <br />But to be born to poor parents is not any child's due <br />In any case such a thing I cannot believe <br />Though we can sow the karma from life we receive <br />The future for anyone who can foretell <br />But for people there is an Earthly heaven and hell <br />And millions sad to say are living hungry and rough <br />Through no fault of their own they are doing it tough <br />We cannot choose our parents or siblings but we can choose a friend <br />And for all the life's journey must come to an end.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-can-choose-our-friends/
