If You Had The Opportunity Poem by Stephanie Hernandez

If you had an opportunity
The ones they call “once in a lifetime”
Would you take it?
Would you leave everything behind?

If you could do everything you’d ever wanted
But then you had to die
Would you do it?
Would you leave your life behind?

Some say yes
I’d do it in a flash
I’d do it in a minute
Without a second glance

Others say no
I wouldn’t do it
Leave my friends and family behind
No, I’m not that selfish, I certainly wouldn’t do it.

But can you really tell?
Do you know what you would do?
If the opportunity arose?
Of course not! You can’t really tell until you get there!
