I Choose You

In my life

I could not choose my height, nor skin color
my parents, and my birthday and place

Many else were handed to me willingly
I have embraced them what else

Could I choose with every thought in my mind
with every beating of my heart

It's you I choose, a partner in life
a beautiful soul, a gifted light

An inspiration and motivation in the midst of ordinariness
A passionate companion, in failure and success

Of my life
