\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Loneliness<\/strong><\/p>\n

What was it, someone said.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re alone and in bed.<\/p>\n

Do you lust for the one not there?<\/p>\n

Is it almost more than you can bare?<\/p>\n

Do you cry yourself to sleep?<\/p>\n

Then dream those dreams of one so sweet?<\/p>\n

In the morning, you\u2019re bed\u2019s a wreck.<\/p>\n

But, you\u2019re still alone, so what the heck!<\/p>\n

So life goes, someone had said.<\/p>\n

Loneliness is only in your head. —————R. W. Johnson—–(2005)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

It comes but once,<\/p>\n

and when it does.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s come and gone<\/p>\n

before it was.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All your life<\/p>\n

you\u2019re waiting for<\/p>\n

a chance to grab it<\/p>\n

at your door.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re never sure.<\/p>\n

You never know.<\/p>\n

It just might come<\/p>\n

before you go.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, if it comes<\/p>\n

And you\u2019re aware.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll know it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So go ahead<\/p>\n

and take the plunge.<\/p>\n

Take a chance<\/p>\n

next time it comes.—————-R. W. Johnson—–(1988)<\/p>\n
