Are You Treading Water

Are you treading water
waiting
to die? 

Or
diving in
with
a loud victorious cry? 

Or
swimming
to
a island paradise? 

Your choice
to
make
your choice to live
in
this time
before you die.

    So very true my friend, so very true. You wrote this piece so well. The choices are ours and my choice as I told God this morning is, I will let go of the things I cannot control and put all my faith in Him to guide me. I choose to live

    Hugs
