chosen

there are millions of people in the world
each one is chosen, handpicked by G-d
put here in this world for something special

that special something isnt fame
it isnt fortune
it isnt to be an inventor
or a trendsetter

we are each chosen for something unique
each has a role to play
each little piece of our lives carefully chosen.
part of a bigger picture

every place we live,
everything that happens to us
every step we take
and every choice we make
we are chosen,

we are chosen to be inspired
we are chosen to uplift

sometimes we are lucky enough to appreciate
the pieces as they come together
everything so mundane and insignificant
woven into an intricate web or reason

to see it clearly  takes my breath away,
to marvel at the wonder that is life
and at the creator that chose us
