Life always gives us options and ways to select,
Sometimes, there are many, and it is hard for only one to elect.
Many choices are beautiful and seem to be incredibly attractive,
Some of them seem to fit perfectly into our wishes.
It is an option that seems all troubles will be solved,
After choosing it, we will have no more trouble.
Everything will be solved perfectly and magically,
Then, we will stay satisfied in that dreamed tranquility.
After the choice, then, everything did not occur as planned,
We are worse than before; everything is getting misguided.
We analyze the choice, and it seems the worst possible we could do,
We forgot that once we had considered it so marvelous.
During this time, many regrets and sadness arise,
We realize that for a while, we are damaging our life.
In this time, we learned one big and valuable lesson,
Not to decide just what pleases us, to God, we must ask for directions.
The directions of God for our lives lead to effective ways,
Because God knows the right time for everything, we wait.
He always blesses us according to our necessities,
Providing what is necessary for us to achieve true felicity.
