Opportunities Knock

 Every day and opportunity passes by

Each day I let it through

I can't grasp the freedoms to choose

So I make no choices at all


I'm not ready to dive in again

I won't be for a long time 

The daily rituals I call my own

I enjoy my schedule the way it is


When I get the call, the text, the mail

I read each line with a guarded mind and heart

Responsibility is not my friend

I can only be responsible for myself


I can't give you what you deserve today

I don't want to give at all

When new opportunities come my way

I must turn and walk away


My complexities since replaced with simplicity

I have no reasons to play that part

I drive alone, I think alone 

Where I'm at my very best


The warning label emblazoned on my head

Ever present never hidden

This is who and what I am

It's better that they stay away

 

Some day things will change

Not sure I'll worry too much

I'm enjoying being a single retiree

I write my rules and break them when I want to
