Notes About The Poem

Some people wait too long to make their dream a reality. Some people are just plain afraid to strike out and try something new. Then when their youth is gone and the time is passed they regret never having tried. Could have, should have is never enough.

One Is All It Takes

One idea can help you reach success.
One choice can make things great.
One step can start things moving.
One step is all you need to take.

One idea you never act on,
One choice you never made,
One dream you never reached for,
Just because you were afraid.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on allowing fear to rob you of find success in life, Judy. As a person who has started dozens of new businesses in my lifetime, it is better to try and fail than to life with the," I should have, I could have, and I wish would have," the rest of one's life. I agree with your thoughts in this poem, Judy. Have a great week, my friend. Bill

Judy you are so right my dear friend people are afraid to take a step towards their dream. At the age of 25 i went to our bank for a loan, my dad stood in as guarantor - and Proto Personnel consultants started. We have had our ups and downs and when Covid started we only kept one who types our CV's.from home..We still have Proto Personnel hubby and i run it. We used to have 7 . employees, so now you understand when I disappear sometimes. Your words are wise as always dear Judy . Hugs Jen
