The Chooser
Popular Poems Topics for You.
We are the sum of what we chose
in small, unheroic moments—
the word we swallowed or released,
the kindness and its opponents.
No single grand decision
makes the person that we are,
it is the choosing in the ordinary
that puts us near or far
from who we want to become.
Each day is made of choosing well—
the life we live is not a fate,
it is a thing we build and tell.
