Freedom Of Choice Poem by Linda Ori

Freedom Of Choice

Rating: 2.9


God's love is unconditional
It is not bound by strings,
He does not give the bird a voice
Then tell it what to sing;

He does not give us wings to fly
Then tell us where to go,
He does not give each man a mind
Then tell him what to know;

Life is an experience -
Each man will choose his way,
And if he makes wrong choices
They'll come back to him one day,

But still he learns the lesson,
Be it difficult or not -
God does not tell us what to learn
Nor dictate how it's taught.

I think this one is my favorite. It departs from the tortured soul motif to the hopeful. It's beautiful how you've kept the theme throughout of God as creator of opportunities and options rather than orchestrator of events. This is one poem in particular where the rhyme scheme and meter you tend to favor works especially well. Concice and packed with meaning- these are the most difficult poems to write. Love it!

This is terrific Linda. It articulates your idea/philosophy of freedom of choice clearly and poetically. Gives us all food for thought. Very fluid writing with a steady tempo that gives us time to take it all in. Excellent. xxjim
