choose

The best we can do-
all we can do is
the best we can do.
As I write, my heart aches...
my heart laughs...
my heart lives.
Life continues and a choice is presented-
to be present or not...
I choose to be present...
I choose to awaken...
I choose to laugh...
I choose to honor my loved ones...
All of them.
I choose to live
and ultimately,
with all my heart and soul,
I choose to love...
I CHOOSE TO LOVE...
