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.
