Choice Quote by Bonnie Raitt
““No matter how you tell yourself It's what we all go through Those lines are pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you Oh, scared you'll run out of time When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake Life gets mighty precious When there's less of it to waste””
