The Chance of a Lifetime

The rare chance of a lifetime
happens more than you would think,

it comes around so often
you could miss one when you blink.

It happens when you walk to school
or on your way to work,

it comes from people that you meet
and even from a jerk.

You might find one while jogging
or while walking through a hall,

you’ll spot one while you read a book
or shopping in the mall.

The point is they are everywhere
just waiting to be found,

so be alert and ready
when the next one comes around.
