Views in Verse on 'the importance of chance'

Chance

Chance is your weapon in life
To willfully ‘have a go’
If you’re not willing to ‘break that mold’
You’ll never ever know
Just how full your given life can be

Time is a bandit
With no comfort spared to share
Expecting us to confront ‘our lot’
‘Step outside the square’;
Contentment’s most accessible to the free.

The wary, far too often
Are frozen by reserve
Window’s close too quickly
A slave to one’s own nerve
Making it far too easy to forget...

‘Down the road’ they will challenge
Through much more seeing eyes
“Did you chance to chase that prize …?”
“Take the risks that realize…?”
“No remorse …no excuse …no regret”.
