Analysis of Choose
Jeannie Withrow 1960 (AZ)
What shapes us to be who we are?
What holds us back and leaves a scar?
What effect, does make us shine?
Who's is the blame, theirs or mine?
I look back in life long years.
Can remember only lonely tears.
Babies blessed with touch and hug.
Shinning in a families love.
I close my eyes, a vision there.
Pretend its me, do I dare.
We have a path in life to walk.
A rusty key for a broken lock.
Today I choose the rainbow road.
My choices, my mistakes I have owned.
The women I am sings and shines,
The little one must be left behind.
