4 - DECIDE

[The fourth entry of April 2016's A-to-Z Blogging Challenge.]

*

We decide for ourselves

Each and every day

We decide how to behave

What to feel and what to say

Decide to be good

For goodness is rare

Decide to be happy

No one wants despair

Decide to be kind

In all that you do

Decide to be considerate

When you use the loo

Decide to be thoughtful

And celebrate a birthday

Decide to be adventurous

And go the wrong way

Decide to be polite

Say please and thank you

Decide to be responsible

Pay up when it's due

Decide to be pretty

It's your body anyway

Decide to be worth it

Doesn't matter what they say

Decide to be intelligent

Learn, learn and learn

Decide to provide for those you love

With the money that you earn

Decide to feel loved

For there are many who care

Decide to feel important

And don't ever compare

Decide to love yourself

Because God created you

A beautiful creature in His image

Believe it, 'cause it's true.
