My mom says that I can choose
the way my life will be.
I can choose to know my purpose
and possibility.
I can shake off limitations
and leave them in the dust.
and connect with my potential
and leave my fears to rust.
I can dream my greatest dreams
and with action give them life.
and appreciate each moment
and let go of fear and strife.
I can build strong lasting friendships
and learn the art of love.
I can stretch myself to the highest heights,
and reach for stars above.
I can do anything I dream of.
My life is up to me.
So now the only question is
“What will I choose to be?”
