Choose Life

Just a whisper through the trees,
The leaves dance to the tune of the breeze.
Just a candle through the night,
The darkness hides from the light.
Just one word spoken with malice,
And the heart can form a callous.
Just a thought in the mind of a child,
Forms a dream so big and wild.
But with just a small taste of "reality",
It can shrivel up and die in totality.
Small things, little things.
So many times considered unimportant,
But whether given with medicine or poison
They're always potent.
One moment can be the difference between...
Light or dark,
Good or bad,
Heaven or hell,
Life or death.

"I am now giving you the choice between life and death, between God's blessing and God's curse, and I will call heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Choose life!"
