My Choices May Be Different



Posted: Sunday, November 29, 2009

My choices may be different than the way you'd want to be,
And things that I believe may not be what you think you see,
And maybe, yes, just maybe what I see is what will be,
At least it's what I vision, and the life that is for me.

My choices may be different than the way you'd want for me,
The things that I do cherish may seem strange and not for thee,
The ways I think, the things I do, may make you disagree,
But it's those things that shape my life and leave me feeling free.

Your choices may be different than the way I'd want for you,
But I'm not one to criticize and tell you what to do,
So live your life and do your best; your conscience be your guide,
Just listen to the things it says and of its will abide.

My choices may be different and your choices may be too,
But it's the choices that we make, that always see us through,
And it's those choices that we make, that shape just who we are,
So make those choices from your heart and they will take you far.

David Pekrul was born in New Westminster, B. C. Canada.

He wrote his first poem in February, 2004, as an Anniversary card for his wife, Linda. Being rather pleased by the results of his first attempt, he wrote a second one, then another and another. He soon realized that he was in love with words.

The pictures that his words paint may not always be pretty, but they are pictures worth viewing, for he writes about the world around him, whether they be things good, bad or otherwise. He also writes about family, nature, God and faith.

His first poetry book, "Parts Of The Sum Volume One" has just been published and can be found at http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/3145051

David makes his home in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies with his wife Linda and spoiled pup, Tiki.

Thanks for your comments on the poem and the picture. It's amazing what a professional photographer can do, isn't it. Even when he hasn't much to work with. lol.
