I needed this piece today, I really needed to read it. I love the unique structure of the stanzas, the creative use of repetition and the motivational nature of the entire poem. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Mr.write_4u
Very creative. I liked this. It made me think how tripping over your own feet isn't such a bad thing. There are some people that would just love to walk. Thanks for sharing.
Happy writing,
Larry

Hello
Unfortunately few have the courage to - )Walk, without
the net( OR even )Just dream, a little dream(. Most are blind to Chance when it presents itself, usually in cryptic ways - Lobber

Yes, I think this is so. Sad, really. Of course, all is easier said than done. But to fail is not the end, only the beginning. Doug

Hello,
Your final words are the words of a true optimist. Beautiful!

Comment from Reese Turner
Certainly an interesting thought. Not to debate, but you cause me to measure my own reflections on the crossroads and disappointments in my life. As is my habit, I mentally changed the subject. I focus on the putts I made as memories of the putts I missed are painful.

Or, what life could be, if for YOU! ;) :) Loved this introspective offering, Doug, and the reflections of internal conflict that encourages even the reader to look inward and walk forward! ;) Thanx for sharing, sir... needed the little 'nudge' today! ;) Yvette

A Wonderful Life.

A far more contemplative movie, the more one watches it. Simplicity. Yes, and then...why do we start to rethink it, ourselves, the parallels, the human existence, the questions, the you in all the scenes. If, we could truly just live in the moment. For the moment is all that life consists of. Yes, and I still cannot accept what is so plainly obvious. Doug

Hi
Yup, I agree.
The here and now is really all there is.
Sounds easy... harder to do!
Most of us live in the immediate past or future our ?minds? never resting in the present.

An uplifting message and a great reminder to just persevere through all the challenges life throws our way. I think you have effectively captured that existential crisis we all go through, the longing, the self-doubt and the what ifs. A great job I really enjoyed reading this.

So what if you hadn't been? That is a good question. God can use anything or anybody to accomplish what He desires, but perhaps with me/you on earth, there were some people helped, encouraged.
Good poem

Comment from Gwen Canfield
Good poem that addresses subconsciously grappling with fears and motivations while trying to attain goals. Asks several questions of the reader as well as the universe and then the universe and our inner self answers. I like the title "A Chance" it is interest catching as it makes the reader wonder.....what type of chance or a chance at what is this poem going to be about......and ends up being a chance for our own self reflection and goal making.
