The one offense we all commit
Too timid not to go for it
To take a stand, but in the back
‘Cause sometimes it’s the nerve we lack
Inertia is thing quite pervasive
As excuse, it’s most persuasive
There’s always time, tomorrow’s fine
It’s too late now, we’re apt to whine
Sad truth is that we then don’t see
All missed opportunity
Yet heed these words? I often don’t
If comfortable, I likely won’t
Be stirring pot I’d rather watch
Avoiding kicking up that notch
So like the rest, I need a boot
An interest, a hot pursuit
It’s vital even as I age
To make sure I am more engaged
Like Joseph Campbell, find my bliss
Those opened doors, we sometimes miss
Should turn our heads and stir our loins
Rouse us to get where we’re going
It only takes good look around
To know such blessings do surround
To our detriment they’re wasted
If sweetness in life goes untasted
I must remind myself each day
Don’t let those chances slip away!
