Choice and the Power to Create - a Poem by Broderick Boyd

What to do? What to create?
I can create anything that I choose, It's just a question of what
My mind searches, my heart yearns for constructive effort
Moving in a new direction, moving in a great direction
How does this world change me? the ways that I let it.
Only that is what determines who I become
My choice, my life, my destiny
Life can't stop something like that from actually happening
My life growing the way I want it to, entering the domains that I choose
And there lies the key... the power of choice.
Will I continue this journey, or will I turn back?
Will I take the leap, or will I go back to where it's warm?
What choice have you taken today?
A reversal of that choice, what would that be like?
Don't look back, don't second guess, when you choose, you move, when you choose you live.
Anything less than that is simply death or the coming of death.

Earth Journey - a Poem by Broderick Boyd

Taking the world one step at a time. 

Making my impact

Going my own way

Living for the sake of living

Growing for the sake of growing

Existing in a changing battlefield

Taking my time, going the way that needs to be gone

brushes across my soul, screams beyond my shoulders

The earth shifts, my mind drifts

I take it back, I regain the control

My life changes as necessity demands

Love will never challenge me more than this

Destiny brings me to the edge of bliss

tough love on a mothers son

the journey of a thousand miles has just begun.

"If" a Poem by Rudyard Kipling

One of my favorite poems of all time: "If" written in 1899 by Rudyard Kipling, the author of "The Jungle Book." Enjoy.

"If" by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
