Roaming and Wandering

     
               Some say
                 opportunity’s squandered
                   as you roam and wander

               I say
                 make the most of each stride
                   takes just one to turn the tide

Faith in each forward step. As well as being disappointed, I have been pleasantly surprised. Brilliant write my friend.

My 'brilliance,' if it be so, lasts but a moment. Long gone now. Thanks, Joe.

Well, if practice makes perfect, I guess I've had enough of the former to merit one or two runs at perfection. Thanks, Heidi!!
