My Choice

If I was given the choice to choose

From everyone whom to be

I think from all the many

Frankly- I’d choose me!

At times I feel my life’s extreme

More intense than the rest

Yet I know this is what G-d wants

For me it’s the very best

When G-d places challenges in my lap

I know it’s a package deal-

Together with each obstacle

Comes the strength to heal

More than anything, I do believe

It’s the hardships that make me strong

More than anything, I know it’s true

G-d follows me along

I’m glad I don’t need to choose

From anyone whom to be

I’m just really thankful

That I am good old me
