NOW: THE OPPORTUNITY

The waters aren't calm yet
but my sailing endures
a easy sail I can't afford
now, is the only opportunity to reach my goals.

The fog isn't clear yet
for miles to walk
and do the portion of my day
but toiling I'm
now, is the only opportunity to work.

The mountains aren't low yet
to cross over
and size my dreams -
hidden in horizons within
but climbing I'm
now, is the only opportunity to exploit my talents, potential.

The bridges aren't build yet
to cross the rivers
and reconcile with other communities
but forgiveness, love and peace I pray
now, is the only opportunity to live in harmony.

School fees is elusive yet
for me to school
and realize my career
but learning I'm in the University of Books
now, is the only opportunity to read.

Meager salary mine is
to save,
and a pleasant future fortify
but small amount I'll set a side
now, is the only opportunity to invest.

Mr or Mrs Right haven't found yet
to embrace a relationship yearned for -
for a small heaven to reign here
but I've chosen you as my Mr or Mrs Right
now, is the only opportunity to live love.
