They do not always come <br />The way you expect! <br />With a smiling face... <br />Or packaged in lace. <br />Sometimes a sacrifice is done! <br />Sometimes it may stun, <br />That they may come from a bum! <br />Mixed opportunities, <br />Are available to everyone! <br />Many times unnoticed... <br />Right before our eyes! <br />And we don't realize, <br />They are in disguise! <br />One never knows who holds for them, <br />Their next surprise! <br />Mixed opportunities <br />Don't always fall from sun drenched skies!<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mixed-opportunities/
