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!
