I can love or hate
I can forgive or hold a grudge
I can respond patiently or break
I can be content or fight
I can use soft words or reply in anger
I can be submissive or rebel
I can be compassionate or cruel
I can lend or be selfish
I can be helpful or cold
 
We all face choices
We all have to decide
Which way we'll follow
 
Life is made of choices
We can choose wisely
and enjoy our time here,
however long it may be
Or we can choose poorly
and be full of bitterness and hate
 
The choice is yours, you decide
Nobody else can make it for you
What are you going to pick?
the hard way is the right way
The way that leads to peace and joy
 
We can't do it on our own
it isn't in our sinful nature
to be kind, to do right
But with God's help
we can be over-comers of sin

My poem I wrote back in March.
