To decide
Is to commence
A journey of self-actualisation.

It is to lay the very path
That you and countless others
Will eventually come to walk on.

It is to take responsibility
For yourself and for those
Who depend on your care.

To decide
Is an act of faith.
It is prayer in action.

It is to be ready
To put in the heart and sweat
To make the new work.

A decision
May be a tough choice
Resulting in heartbreak and sorrow.

But in the final analysis
A decision is a poetic promise
That you must make to honour your life.
