Choose Your Own Adventure (sonnet)

Life's like a "choose your own adventure" book,
Full of choices at ev'ry twist and turn.
Sometimes all we need is that one first look,
While other times it takes longer to learn.
Some decisions take us to great places,
While others leave us stuck at a dead end.
Some turns we take put smiles on our faces,
While others leave us longing for a friend.
God gave us rules to try to keep us safe,
But gave us free will to mess up our lives.
Someday we'll answer to Him, face to face,
And try to explain the things we decide.
The world's our oyster, but what is the pearl?
It's staying sane in this crazy old world.
