Opportunity knocked on my door.
It was soft, yet loud.
I went to see what was in store.
The sun greeted me
as I opened the door
in its hand there was a key.
My head was spinning
What am I to do?
I knew this was just the beginning.
I took the key
and held it in my hand.
It was now up to me.
I stood up tall
and accepted the challenge.
I would rise above all.
Opportunity knocked on my door.
Thank you for choosing me.
I can’t wait to soar!
