I Choose! I choose!
I choose God over Satan
I choose heaven over hell
I choose family over the foe
I choose justice over injustice
I choose love over hate
I choose peace over war
I choose food over poison
I choose light over darkness
I choose hope over fear
I choose education over ignorance
I choose success over failure
I choose patience over impatience
I choose innocence over guilt
I choose humbleness over arrogance
I choose wealth over poverty
I choose health over sickness
I choose frankness over lying
I choose life over death
I choose sight over blindness
I choose hearing over deafness
I choose intelligence over stupidity
I choose truth over falsehood
How about you?

I love you though for the sake of God and his noble messenger.
I am glad you chose what I thought you will choose.
But move on with speed; beyond pettiness. Those that are not following the many forums would have to excuse such threads sometimes...
Regards, Dalton..

| Classic poem Dalton, I agreed with santanfara. Every decent person will associate him/ herself with these simple but meaningful poetic wordings.If only we all choose these and ask God to help us, what a better place this world will be. Well done dalton, keep this platform nice and clean. |

| Dalton1, i do not know if you meant to unite us all here on Bantaba but i cannot imagine anyone not agreeing to the things you choose. Noone would prefer to be blind or deaf, let alone be dead (just to mention a few examples). Well anyway, i agree 100% to your choices and i would be surprised if any of us could find one single choice he/she would not agree to. |
