The Orchard of Oppertunity

The Orchard Of Opportunity. . Strolling through the orchard of opportunity Making choices as they come along Trying to pick the best healthy fruit But many a time I get it wrong Picking the rotten ones riddled with maggots Another blow to heart and mind The windfall trod underfoot And stick to my shoe Leaving me to feel blue I soon forget the good fruit That tasted so sweet As my orchard gets smaller and smaller And the dwarfing trees get taller Frantically I gather all As fast as I can Taking the good with the bad The taste used to be sour and vulgar But now I’m older it’s not so bad. .
