Make It Happen

While waiting for my ship to come in Others got to it first by going for a swim While waiting for opportunity to knock It was met in front of my door by a hungrier flock While waiting for my fifteen minutes of fame Others got noticed by not playing this game If I want good things to happen to me I guess I should pursue them more aggressively

We do have to pursue our dreams and aspirations aggressively to stay ahead of the hungry flock. Very poignant and insightful poem, Joe. Love, Carolyn
