Decision Greets Poem by Shannon Wade

Decision greets
Sometimes when we meet
It’s anywhere from a second to a number of days
But next to Decision
Conclusion lurks
Awaiting my answer
Wondering what will I decide?
At times I have no clue what to say
Let alone think
Searching for guidance at times can be beneficial
But on the same token it can hinder or alter your true feelings
A lot of times decision are brought on by one’s self
Choices
Choices are key when it comes to decision making
If you chose the wrong turn you may find yourself in a maze of confusion
Boxing yourself against a wall of predicaments
Causing you to have to pick from the scraps left on the table
No one wants the scraps
First come first serve right?
Guess I waited a little too long
Humans love to test
Like little kids they often do not stop until God slaps their hands
Well this time he slapped my heart
Lesson learned
So what do we do with the lessons we inquire along life’s road
Should we hide them away from others?
Masking the truth with lies?
Of course not
The decisions you make should not be looked on as mistakes
We have the power to define the outcomes of our lives
Yet we choose to pretend things just happen
Nothing just happens
It all part of God design
When we finally grasp hold of this
We will grow
But until then
Many will remain spoiled and stagnant
Blaming others for the choices and decision they have made in their lives
Doesn’t seem like a category I’d like to associate with
What about you?
