it opens but once
I’m told
opportunity knocks – then
leaves one cold

you have what it takes
to open that door
stepping through
is a metaphor

grab hold
be bold
it’s yours
go!

    ‘Grab hold, be bold’ – I like the sounds of that. You’re right though- opportunity isn’t a patient one and it waits for nobody!

    It’s Barbara! In Texas! Thanks for linking up this week. It sounds like it took some effort. Great advice here, Barbara. Try to come back and vote at the end, if you can.

    Yes indeed — just a single oppurtunity
