Choices

As I awake to each new day, rain, snow or sun,

It is my choice to release my light within and

As my light shines so does the Light of God,

And these Lights meet and strength is gained for me to be stronger and brighter than I could ever hope to be.

For God wishes to answer every choice we make,  He does not judge the choice good or bad,

His wish is happiness for every choice made and we choose how to act.

So if our choice is to hide our light because our day looks bleak, there is no light to find God's Light and our strength withers from within.

This path of life is a shared event and successful only by how we choose to shine.

It is our choice and God awaits, which effort do you make?

    Thank you for your entry into the contest. I didn't quite see how it was related directly to my competition about hope, but I thought that it was well written and based beautifully on the quotation that you indicated in your notes.

    Good luck in the contest

    not sure how it relates to the contest, but this was an enjoyable read. well-written, and you have beautiful word usage. I liked the way you ended the poem with a question--it was a very effective ending. Well penned, and thanks for your entry...

    Thank you for your entry

    A good example and nice use of the quote for inspiration. My two concerns though, the font is very small and hard to read and you might consider making the lines shorter.

    God Bless

    I love your wording and the deep message you state. It is our choice, and as humans unfortunately, we don't always make the right choices.
    thank you for the lovely entry
    best wishes
