Do It!

In the blink of an eye it could all be over
What, then, would you have to say?
Oh, I shoulda, woulda, coulda just won’t work.
You should have stopped to savor each day.

Don’t worry, though, you’re not alone,
Many have failed to fulfill their dreams.
The truth is, a dream can be worked at to achieve
And fantasies, well they remain as they seem.

If your heart is a poet’s, then write.
If with vocal talent, then sing.
If good with color, then paint the world.
Into your life, some joy you’ll bring.

Take advantage of the talent you have
And share with the world, if just for a day.
Let the world know just who and what you are.
Fear not! Put your heart on display.

Take the risks or just enjoy your dreams.
You’ll love that you put yourself through it.
Remember, my friends, fear not reactions!
Just go ahead and do it!
