Gifts, Gifts, Gifts
Some people have eyes
yet never see the world
Some people have legs
yet never run around
Some people have a nose
yet never smell the roses
Gifts, Gifts, Gifts
Some people have a voice
yet never speak
Some people have a mind
yet never think
Some people have arms
yet never reach out
Gifts, Gifts, Gifts
Some people have health
yet they choose to ruin it
Everyone has a heart
yet some choose to hate
Everyone has a life
But some choose to end it
Choice, Choice, Choice
The greatest gift in life is choice,
everyday we choose to use our gifts,
but some never get the chance to make that choice.
Gifts, Gifts, Gifts
Choice, Choice, Choice
How many have gone to waste?

Well I had to take some time to address this. As it seemed thoughtfully written it deserves thoughtful feedback.
This poem isn't wordy (no big vocab show offs). In fact, composition wise, its fairly simple.
But it's complexity shines in the concept. Rich in thought.
At the end, you declare that choice is the ultimate gift.
While throughout the poem, you display how we use choice to waste away the many gifts we have.
I think this poem is very well written and thought out.
