Nearly Is Only Close Enough - Sunday Scribbling

 
Nearly is only close enough
If you are willing to merely settle

How many times in life

Has fear dictated your path?
Has expectations stifled your chance?
Has opportunity slipped away?
Has life just passed you by?

Nearly is only close enough
Are you are willing to merely settle
