In the Land of Opportunity

by Joe Cramer

I wake up in the land of opportunity

Hoping that the day will be better

Than all of the ones before.

I spring forth out of bed, the trap is sprung

Waiting on the exact moment when I can

Seize the day.

In this land that I now dwell

My heart hangs loosely on my sleeve.

This is the way that I believe

Has become my life.

I just don't understand

What I am supposed to do.

Yet I wake every day

In the land of opportunity.

The alternative to waking

Is the road I am not willing to travel.

Indeed... at least the way you have described is the better way by far... I'll take six feet over ground any day! lol... great way to start the New Year... remember, miracles are coming by everyday... in every way. All we have to do is reach out.. aloha to you from this side of the Pacific... alisa ;-)
