To Be Too Late

All my life
             done many things
                      well
          quite a few
             exciting
             powerful
              successes.

      But never that one thing
       to be the most important
           above all others
       A career of heart.

     Til old and broken
      discovered by kind word  (Desiree)
        who would have imagined
           my best special desire
           could have been

          Stunt Woman!!!

     So mere looking on
      with nostalgic eye (Dayna)
     Looking back to what 
       might have been
     So lucky being included
         tasting a portion
          of youthful dream

    If youth had known 
        of what to dream!



(Inspired by training with stunt woman Dayna Grant.  Check her out on Daynastunts.  )
