No Do-Overs
Written By: D. Collins 2/2/16
Peculiar things happen trying to live out life.
It has no mercy. You only get one strike.
Make no excuses and have no regrets.
There are no do-overs or second chance.
Life is deliberate. It has a start and an end.
An Alpha and Omega and the places you’ve been.
You only get one shot. You should hit the bulls eye.
No man’s ever run a game on the “Game of Life.”
When opportunity knocks greet it with a smile.
The next time it comes around, may be quite awhile.
Go to those places you always wanted to see.
Leave a footprint right before you leave.
You’ll never set foot in that print, again.
There are no do-overs or a second chance.
Know you rode the crest before the end.
LIVE! Before you die. Just go all in.
