This Is A Recipe For Life

This is a recipe for life,
For joy,
For peace,
For love,
For happiness,
For strength when darkness is all around,
When times are rough,
We all go through difficult times,
Not one of us is not touched by a hard moment,
But when we give ourselves to the light,
When we give ourselves that chance,
That time,
That choice,
We all have a choice,
A choice in this world,
In this life,
To walk down the path,
The good one,
Or the bad one,
To make good decisions,
To make bad decisions,
To make a difference,
To not make a difference at all,
This is a recipe for life,
We can choose to look at it,
We can choose to disregard it,
We can choose to ignore it,
We can choose to believe,
We can choose to hope,
We can choose to disappear,
That is our choice,
That is our moment,
We can go our own way,
Try to find the happiness,
Or find the ruin that truly is there,
Or we can give ourselves,
Let ourselves be blessed,
By His love,
His grace,
His being,
This is a recipe for life,
For our life beyond just the moments here,
Our lives can have meaning,
Our lives can have blessing,
Even through those hard times,
If we have the faith,
If we have the trust,
If we just have the belief,
We have a choice,
We have the recipe,
We have the words,
We have the truth,
But it is up to us,
It is up to us to decide,
To decide our fate,
To decide our future,
To time untold but coming,
We have to decide,
What we are going to do,
With this recipe for life.
