Opportunity

Just when you think that it’s over, Your world crumbling, All plans gone awry. Life takes on new meaning Then once again you begin to fly. You soar among your daydreams Glimpsing your star Here and there. From afar you hear destiny calling And a finger beckons to you-come on dare. DARE to take what I’m offering. Grasp the new, Let go of the old. Time to chase your rainbow, To find your pot of gold....... There may be some mountains to conquer. The path may be strewn with care, But just follow your heart And your feelings, Know all that awaits you is there. Just go along with the journey Taking the bumps as they rise, But never look back To what has been — Go forward and claim your prize.
