City of opportunity

There was once a chance I didn't take

An open hand, a bright light

Angel wings fluttered all around

As I walked on by

Through this city of opportunity

Whoever knows

Maybe I'll come around

Back to here 

Chances are

Chances don't happen once

As eternity's probability gets unraveled

There was once a chance I didn't take

And here it is again

What do I do now?

I feel like walking down

The path I'm already on

In the city of opportunity

Does it ever really matter 

What it is we do?

Or am I just a fool?

"Chances are
Chances don't happen once" I share this perception so this line really connected with me!

I know it's hard not to regret lost chances and opportunity, but i think they come round again too, and we can capitalize on them if we learnt from our past mistakes.

Nicely perceived and put down my friend. Very enjoyable piece.

I think if we always listen to our hearts and not our heads our answers will take us where we need to go..x

Excellent Poem, Jake. I love the flow and the questioning. We never know what if had we stopped to change courses in life. You did a wonderful job exploring the Writing Prompt too. Great job!

I look back my life. I missed many good opportunities. Today I'm in debt and surrounded by kids and grand kids. I wouldn't trade this time away for anything. Life can confuse us. I believe choose the road that will get you to where you want to be. If you are not happy. Money can buy good toys. Not real happiness. A excellent poem. Some questions need to be answer by living and hoping for a good landing.
