What would you embrace?

I’d rather see wonder

Than a bully on the street

I’d rather stand up to tyranny

Than to bow and kneel at their feet

How we choose

How we live

What we take

And what we give

We are agents of our decisions

In our mind/body vessel we navigate

How shall we proceed?

What shall be our fate?

What gives meaning to our values?

They are tested over time

When we have no answers

Where do we turn for a sign?

Ask an elderly person in hospice

Ask a cancer patient in stage four

What would you have done differently?
