Missed Opportunity

~ Christine Goodnough

Old woman heaped with heavy load
tottered down a cobbled road.
Young man walked by, his theories grand,
to better the lot of his fellow man.

She struggled on with weary sighs;
he passed with blinders on his eyes.
“Out to right the world,” he’d say;
he missed his opportunity that day.
