The Daily Boost #641

The choice is always ours to make (a Rafter Spotlight)

I’m delighted to present this song by Rafter Carole Wise.

NOW AND HERE
Carole Wise

So many faces looking through the window
So many places to hold onto or let go
I often wonder will we see the bigger picture
When will we realize we already know

Life isn’t always as it seems
We hold the future in our dreams
But what matters is now and here
Let go the future and the past
And live each moment as it lasts
Time to embrace the fear
The time is now and here

And so we move ahead and wonder where do we go
Climbing up, trekking down 
I often wonder will we find a new horizon
A newer place or have we already found

Life isn’t always as it seems
We hold the future in our dreams
But what matters is now and here
Let go the future and the past
And live each moment as it lasts
Time to embrace your fear
The time is now and here

We can reinvent a sheltered life
Or live courageous and be strong
Move on up ahead, encourage everyone along
Flowing like a river or soar from up above

The choice is always ours to make
To hate or choose love . . . 

(My thanks to Rafter Carole Wise.)
