Opportunity

Opportunity knocks,
it may suddenly come.
When it presents itself,
you must be ready to climb the ladder,
you must be ready to put your foot on the fist rung.

Opportunity doesn't wait,
it doesn't want to play.
All opportunity wants to know is are you ready to receive what it has for you today.

Opportunity will pass you by,
it will seldom gives you another try.
It doesn't like to be mishandled,
And don't even try and fool it with a lie.

Opportunity wears a blind fold, it truly doesn't discriminate.
it is the people who control opportunity, that truly determines its fate.

Opportunity comes in all shapes and sizes,
Yet it doesn't always come neatly wrapped with a pretty bow.
Sometimes you have to chase it,
and sometimes you have to just let it go.

Opportunity opens the door,
it sets the table and prepares the stage.
It gives you the chance to make something of yourself,
It gives you the chance to prove you are worthy.

Will you take advantage of opportunity,
or will you just moan and groan?
Here is the one truth you need to learn from this poem,
What you do with opportunity is up to you and you alone.
