Will Or Chance? Poem by Donald L. Beegle

Is one's will able to create opportunity?
Can any person be so smart,
So taught and so in control to make their destiny?
A wonderful prospect but can it be true? I think not. Rather, opportunity is more a random chance with
no one ever in complete control.
A chance, an opportunity passes
by us all and only some are
at the right place to know how
or may be when to flag it down. How often is a person's career
far removed from their training?
The folly of youth, may it not
be any more than a rude comparison
with the experience of age?
And how can either be sure
which is right until youth becomes aged?
