A portal closes then you see <br />another one has opened wide. <br />Is this an opportunity <br />you have brief moments to decide. <br /> <br />If you go through this open door <br /> your life will change forever more <br />If you do not you may regret <br /> you lacked the courage to step through <br />One thing for sure you won’t forget <br /> the chance which fate had offered you. <br /> <br />A golden opportunity <br /> which you declined reluctantly. <br />You longed to go but chose to stay <br />You knew that you were needed here. <br />you knew you could not walk away <br />From everything which you held dear <br /> <br />A wise decision to remain <br /> that question echoes in your brain. <br />When you decided not to go <br /> through that portal and explore. <br />The truth is that you’ll never know <br />what lay beyond that open door. <br /> <br />But still you wonder constantly <br /> what you’d have done if you were free.<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-question-of-priorities/
