Take a Chance
How often do you regret,
Questioning what you suspect
To be an opportunity missed,
Wanting to do over, you wish
Another chance,
To improve your circumstance
Please let me try,
I won’t let this one go by
Without fear,
It’s perfectly clear
With fear,
Success is no where near
So why do we hesitate,
Is it cautiously to investigate
To insure we don’t fail,
And end trapped on the regret trail
Maybe you’ve used the “timings not right”,
But really you would like
To abandon all care to the wind,
For your hopes you have pinned
On a new plan or adventure,
Opportunities now with its tenure
You never know which moment will change your life,
Or the opportunity that comes around just right
But everyday you have that chance,
That person in you, to enhance
So others see,
The real me
Living without regrets,
Taking all I can get
That I want and believe,
Will only improve me.
