IF is more 'is' today than ever. <br />There is no quiz about it now. <br />And doubts once allowed are gone. <br />Believe it. <br />And become doubt free. <br /> <br />It is there in your face. <br />With nothing else to replace it. <br />Wishing it would go away... <br />Fades with a reality that stays, <br />Unerased! <br />With traces of pain... <br />To frame delusions. <br /> <br />Believe it. <br />And become doubt free. <br />Choose to live your life. <br /> <br />Yesterday, <br />Those easy daydreams came. <br />Sweetened with weekend escapades. <br />To leave behind a week, <br />Of those scheduled committments. <br />You sought to meet and keep. <br /> <br />Now a seriousness appears. <br />To reminisce those things done... <br />As dropping teardrops come to some. <br /> <br />Choose to live your life. <br /> <br />IF is more 'is' today than ever. <br />There is no quiz about it now. <br />And doubts once allowed are gone. <br />One must choose to live life! <br />No longer can anyone afford to sacrifice time... <br />To appease the whims of others. <br />Especially if they are in debate... <br />Discussing the value of your fate. <br /> <br />Choose to live life... <br />With a happiness sought without 'things'. <br />Or a happiness someone promises to bring. <br />Choose to live life! <br />Your life!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
