Second Thoughts

How glorious the prizes which we've turned away;
Our choices far nobler notwithstanding our conceit.
Are we not just pawns only living halfway,
The true reality of self - only bittersweet?

Tempting the fates, our destinies unknown,
Appealing to our own hearts to show us the way.
Occasions for which we can never atone;
Lofty decisions we can never downplay.

Love is the only answer to all of our plans;
Humility a solution to unwarranted pride.
A belief in something far greater than man;
Understanding there's more to life, than just what's inside.

Passion of life is what we make it to be;
Base our design on hope, faith and humanity.
