Basket Full Of Choices Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Dewdrops glisten and I watch,
From the window my dreams take me.
Whenever there's Sun rising seen...
I come alive.

When raindrops appear,
And I'm taking a walk.
I don't cover up,
I want to feel refreshed.
Getting wet
And feeling great.
It's a blessing I'm glad to get!
Like a present.
Like a gift!

I may frown when things go wrong.
That is my human nature.
But I'm not down and out for long.
If I appear that way,
I'm under an esthetic.
'This too shall pass! '
And when it does...
I don't regret it.

When flowers begin to bloom,
I understand it more.
And my heart opens...
To enhale and give their scents room.
Life is just a basket full of choices!
Some choose...
And some ignore!
To settle for a piece of life...
That withers in gloom to bore!
