Risk 1988

With every step we take in life, involves a little thought.

And things that have the highest value, are things that can’t be bought.

Everywhere we turn, decisions must be made;

and with decisions comes a risk, a price that must be paid.

Decision making is never easy, nor is the risk of feeling pain.

But "nothing ever ventured means nothing ever gained."

To chose or not to chose is a decision we have to make;

But if we fail to take the risk, later may be too late.

Good things never come easily and appreciation we often hide.

It seems as though we’re searching for greener grass on the other side.

Have we become so blind to the treasures we hold in our hands;

and so easily gullible to our growing selfish demands?

We fixate on the search to find the ideal prize;

And risk overlooking, what’s right before our eyes.
