Its been awhile since I saw your smile
Its been awhile since I heard you laugh
Its been awhile since I had more than a moment to listen to you
Its been awhile, and there is nothing better than listening,
laughing, enjoying
There is no "what ifs" there is no "I wonder" there is no
"should have"
There is I am glad that I was there, there is I know life
happens, there is sometimes that is just the way it is
The truth is, the only way for regret is if I choose not to live,
love, laugh and play
I choose to remember, I choose to keep the things that
felt so good a part of me, and I choose to care
Choices are not easy at times, but the only way to move
forward is to know where you have been and to know that
there is a path forward and to walk there
Its like the sunrise and sunset, at first you wait for
something to happen and enjoy the beauty as it fills the day
with strength and light
In the end you know that even when something ends there
is something beautiful there too
As something ends if we can find the sunset's beauty in it,
then it may be easier to find the next sunrise and the
strength in the light of another day
Choices, they are what changes the tide in our lives, but
How many of us realize the strength of them?
