Take A Chance Poem by Gregory Huyette

Contrite, contained, controlled;
Now it’s too late. I’m old.

I dared not fail,
But dared to be stale.

What a sad story told.

The only real way to advance
Is to tear down those walls…take a chance.

If you fail, the worst that you’ll do
Is learn something else about you.

Whether it’s money, power or romance,
Take a look and then take a chance.

Failure, like success, has a dual rendition;
A sad subtraction or awesome addition!

Try something new that will enhance,
And feel your mind and heart dance.
