This song has always inspired many. The many I mentioned includes me of course. But never in my life have I really felt its meaning than during my recent moments of crisis. A crisis so overwhelming, so tragic that like a heavy boat in the midst of torrent waves, I must unload some of the weight to stay afloat. I have to cast my burdens so I can focus on living. So, I did. One night, I prayed to God and asked Him if He could take these lumbers off my shoulder. I don’t want to think and worry about them from now on and He may do whatever he pleases with them.
Little do I know that He not only took the burden and carry them on His own shoulder but He is also working on them. One day, He sent me a note saying… “Your burden No. 1 has been taken cared of”. It’s that easy… the burden that I’ve been carrying for years have been taken cared of. I am a testament to His grace, wonders and blessings. Praise the Lord!
I have decided and truly convinced My life is built on choices, choices I have made Although I was not able to choose my parents, I’ve chosen to live and abide by them I have not chosen to be born poor, But I was given the choice to strive and work hard, make a change I was able to choose whom to spend my life with, A choice in building a government A choice in faith I cannot choose the children that I will bring into life, I was given a pure soul, the rest is irrelevant How to guide them in life, all depends on my choices.
I am here on Earth, half my life spent On choices I’ve made as I pass through time Some choices are not as good as I hope it would be But that is okay, it allows me to learn and make better choices the second time around
To my childrenWhen you were born, I was given the privilege to choose for you It may not be perfect, you may not actually like some it, You’ve cried, you’ve pouted , you’ve rebelled I chose to be steadfast, chose that someday you will understand In time, soon I can see… This powerful of choice shall be handed down to thee Take heed of your choices, choose wisely You will find that some choices are hard to make But as soon as you have decided, be prepared for the consequence Some consequence may hurt, some may not be what you want Choose then, to learn from it For my sweet, we are what we chose to be.
