Opportunities

I’m walking down my mem’ry lane
And oh, the things I didn’t do.
I wonder how things would have been
In each case that I left undone.
But, that is life in every sense,
You do one time and can’t undo.
Then like I am today, you look
And ponder what you would have done?
We have one opportunity,
As we all daily go through life
And if the right things we don’t do,
We’ll think on them some future day.
So, when those opportunities 
Come face to face with you don’t lose
The chance that day to check them out
Not meet with them another day.
