Only One Chance

To not even be asleep
and have a dream in front of you
your heart is trembling with fear
your mind is thinking only confidence
everything you ever wanted 
comes down to this moment
your life is about to change
drinking later will be cheers
or drowning your sorrows and regret
only one chance to live tonight
or wait forever for that second chance 
the time is now
your time is now
you make your decision
and now your dream is over....
….or has it just begun?

We hear so much moaning about the state of people's lives, but few seize the chance to make changes. We need to wake up and stop dreaming. Take charge of our lives and make dreams come true. Well said, Chris. Best wishes, Carolyn
