When Opportunity Knocks

When opportunity knocks don’t hesitate
Open the door and celebrate
It may be what you are looking for
How would you know, if you don’t open the door

When opportunity knocks let it in
It may bring you a bashful grin
But if only on one side of the door you abide
How would you know what is on the other side

When opportunity knocks, go in a hurry
Leave your doubt, fear and worry
Be sure and let opportunity in
Because opportunity may never knock again

Just posted a poem called 'while you see a chance take it' - same sentiment - grab those opportunities once they are gone they may never return. Hugs Jan xxx
