Choose Freedom
In the garden of your heart, where shadows play
Lies a choice to make, a brighter day
To be part of the solution, not the cause
To embrace the future without pause
Memories of wrongs may linger still
But clinging to them is a bitter pill
Hatred, resentment, a heavy chain
Release them now, break free from pain
Forgive not for them, but for your own peace
Let the weight of anger finally cease
For holding onto spite is a poison deep
That robs your soul of restful sleep
In the tapestry of life, weave threads of light
Choose to rise above the endless night
For every grudge you hold, a burden grows
But in letting go, a garden blooms and glows
The past is a teacher, not a prison cell
Learn its lessons, but do not dwell
On the hurts that once cut deep and wide
For in forgiveness, your spirit can glide
The future calls with a gentle voice
Inviting you to make a choice
To be part of a world that's bright and new
Where love and hope are the colors true
Let go of the chains that bind
And free your heart, your soul, your mind
For in choosing love over hate's embrace
You find your place in a brighter space
The journey forward is yours to take
With every step, a new dawn to wake
Choose to be part of the light, the cure
And in doing so, your heart will soar
