A Risk
We took a risk; it worked out fine
But not without some stressing,
For everything in life requires
A fair amount of guessing.
Without such chances, we remain
Upon an even keel,
A little bored, perhaps, but hey,
Quite safe – that’s the appeal.
I’m usually risk-averse
But sometimes I get shaken
From my comfort zone and afterwards,
Feel glad it was forsaken.
