CHOICE

Amidst the shallow waters i see the reflection of my resolve
Amidst the pain and hurt i see the strenght of a determined woman
Amidst the tears and red eyes i see a champion
Amidst the silent prayers i see the courage in her eyes
Its so easy to see the outward beauty
The lovely dresses, the stylish shoes
Its so easy to see the nods of approvals when you pass by people
Its so easy to fake a smile and the funniest grin ever..
Noone can see the pain you feel
The silent tears that soak your pillow

The Kirk Franklin song comes to mind....
Imagine me, been free, trusting you totally....
I choose to be happy
I choose to be the Yes when there is a No
I choose to live
I choose to smile..
Life is choice driven...we live and die by the choices we make.
