We Are Who We Choose To Be? Poem by Terence George Craddock

we are who we choose to be
if we are lucky we are blessed
with good parents family friends
with good dedicated teachers
with a good education within
a good society country lifestyle

yes you might not have been
who and where you are today
if it wasn't for family friends
dedication hard work love
a few teachers positive influences

but we all make defining choices
to decide to affirm honour justice
faith truth sincerity integrity love
or to live a loss selfish darker side

variant degrees of success
easy or hard won would still
be there in time virtues reward
there might have been a slight
or a lengthy convoluted delay

a little harder to get there,
a little less fun on the way;
good habits actions ethics
personality defines character
character sows our destiny;
