CHOICES

There are those who would worship the
          “Great As Is”
And those who worship the trinity of
          “Me Myself and I”

There are those who would like the world to stop
          so they may quickly get off.

But I would like to salute the ship of
          of “Now and Tomorrow”;
To fly the flag of the unknown future
          where God awaits us there;
Among the tasty choices of NOW
          challenging all we have.

So:
          Here’s a toast of goodbye to such past
                     as haunts the challenge of NOW;
          And here’s high praise to the patient Lord
                     who helps us make our choices;
          And here’s hearty thanks and earnest prayer
                     to the One who hears our voices.

And here’s hallelujah, Amen!
