Walking on a hot and scorching day <br />We meet a splitting of the way <br />A way downwards looking shady, some trees are there <br />A way upwards, sandy without trees, just looking bare <br /> <br />Somewhere deep inside we know <br />The downwards shady path goes low <br />And down that place, there is no tree <br />Just heat and sweat and more ennui <br /> <br />Somewhere deep inside we are aware <br />That the way up, though initially a little bare <br />Will bring us to a place with lots of shade and big relief <br />It is God’s way, so I believe <br /> <br />Shall we choose the way below with instant pleasure? <br />Leading down to a place of heat, we cannot measure <br />Or shall we make little effort on the upper way? <br />And enjoy shade and breeze day by day<br /><br />Aufie Zophy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-choice-3/
