Taking Chances Poem by Sarah Persson

Do you watch and see all that I can see?
Do you bleed the same true red?
Do you wonder with the same closed eyes?
Do you feel much more than what is said?

At times the world is just a war,
At times we understand,
That after all is done and said,
We only need what fits in hand.

If we wear a mask, do we hide our eyes?
If we spread our wings, do we really fly?
If we take small steps, does time move slow?
If we miss those chances we'll never know.
