You choose different paths that steer the way
If you make the right ones you conquer and win
If you choose the wrong ones you’ll just hit the rim
You won’t make the basket or score a goal
So you must choose wisely when playing your role
There are times when your points of view are rejected
It’s time to take defense and not stand corrected
Take the unbelievers and prove them wrong
Rise to the challenge and come out strong
Succeeding in everything that comes along
You’ve made mistakes and in time you’ll learn
The lessons they teach you as life goes on
You’ll never stop learning the strategies of life
But that’ll make your journey an exciting dive
So much to experience and so much to do
Whatever obstacles hope you’ll make it through
Just keep on believing and look on ahead
You’ve got the drive so don’t be misled
By the negative comments that you might here
Take charge, seize the day, make them disappear
In the end you’ll find the taste of victory is sweet
And life’s fruitful experiences make life complete
May your birthday be one you will never forget
With the sun shining bright and blue skies up ahead
And may your heart be swimming in love
From all the people you’re thinking of
This is a poem that I wrote for my cousin's birthday one year...
