Chances Taken

Chances taken,
may leave a heart and soul shaken.
Birth is the biggest chance,
until death do us apart romance.
With no say so in the mix,
life becomes a semi-permanent fix.


While we're here,
we try to deal with lifes fear.
Walking around afraid,
won't get us paid,
nor romantically laid.
Life can be one fearful situation,
sooner or later on comes elimination.


Destiny rules as days pass by,
nothing drools if we don't at least try.
Between birth and death,
many adventures will affect our health.
To live life to the fullest extent,
some chances increase our excitement,
or increase lifes resentment.


Take no chance,
experience no romance.
As the days end,
regret may friend.
Death in doing nothing,
life in true something.


***********************

(Dedicated to Lady Peg & Debs Haar,
and all other adventurous souls.
If you write on AD or anywhere,
it's an adventure, hopefully not a
regretful one.)

This is so very true, you said a mouthful. It's a message that is needed to be heard, face the fear and do it anyway.
