opportunity
with doubt and dismay he you are smitten
you think there is no chance for you son
why the best books haven't been written
the best race hasn't been run the best
score hasn't been made it
the best song hasn't been sung the best
tune hasn't been played
cheer up for the world is young
no chance why the world is just
eager for things that you ought to
create its store of true wealth is still
meager its needs are incessant and great
it earns for more power and beauty more
laughter and love and romance
more loyalty and labor and duty no
chance why there is nothing but chance
for the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet
the best house hasn't been planned
the highest peak hasn't been climbed the
mightiest rivers only spanned
don't worry and fred faint-hearted
the chances have just begun for the best
jobs having been started
the best work hasn't been done
this poem serves to remind us that the
world never dies of creation that you
are a creator
it talks of great acts and great deeds
but also of
love and romance and laughter and
loyalty things that every man and woman
is capable of
value what you have to contribute to
this world
