Thankful - Day Four

Today I am thankful for choices...

It sometimes seems as though someone or something else
Is running life for you
Like a train on a track that keeps
Going in circles
Stopping when someone, somewhere presses a button
But we forget what strength we have inside
We don't know how we can break free
But somewhere deep within
There is a choice
A choice to go, a choice to stay
A choice to go in circles and a choice to go off track
There is a God given strength in us
Which often lies dormant
Because of ignorance and blindness

Open my eyes, let out that strength
Bring about the changes I need
Through the choices I am given
So I may choose tomorrow and today,
Rather than yesterday and years from now.
