It is so true How we put things off And come up with reasons Why they can wait But then we think How many lives can we have? As many as we like Best we begin to engage Do we want a narrow trail Where we have much control? Or an eight lane highway Where anything can happen We must not confine ourselves Every hour will bring new things We become part of everyone we meet So much better than remaining in a closet Sometimes fear of rejection keeps us quiet Our thinking becomes just of ourselves Others face the same tribulations May be waiting for our call Bring joy with you as you tread Do not be afraid of consequence Growth comes through adventure Failure makes us stronger Isolation leaves you lonely We need the belonging Hesitation must be overcome Excitement becomes a middle-name We may know what we want and search Feel fortunate when and if we find it Wipe out the suffering we brought on ourselves Fill in the last block of our life We reflect as we grow Never too late to begin Correct mistakes of the past Feel free at last We are settled from all fear Wish we had started sooner Cannot change the past, but have The present, today, to use Stanski July 2, 2020 ^
