POEM
I’ve chosen joy
I’ve chosen peace
With the passage of years
These choices of ease
have made me who I am
I am — wisdom
I am — power
I am — sacrifice
I am — an ever-present smile
I am — a lover of words
I am — these choices
And so much more
I am — that which you don’t know
I am — that which you will know
I’ve chosen joy
I’ve chosen peace
With the passage of years
These choices of ease
