Untaken Opportunities

May the narrative of your life
     be one likened to the torrents
    of a creek surging eagerly
   against the rocks and boulders,
  bubbling, gurgling, splashing
 down the slopes - - 
so gleefully!


      May it not be a woeful account
     of many what-might-have-beens
    shrouded in sorry, sordid tales
   of last-minute, scared hesitations,
  of wasted, untaken opportunities
 now remembered - - 
so ruefully.
