Nothing Stays to Stick

Opportunities do not alone come,
To arrive without connections.
Very few doors open or close...
If they are not attached to hinges.

How many can say they sit,
Inside a house without a roof?
A home is not a home...
Unless someone lives in it,
To make that proof.

And who can say they are truly happy,
Until that has been pursued?

A quality of life is only quality obtained...
When all pieces come together,
And everyone is participating...
With no one deluded or refusing to accept truth!
And when that is discovered...
That is maintained.

Nothing stays to stick to cement quick,
Without a seriousness attached to it!
And that seriousness is there and meant.
For purposes to have those involved...
Accepting there is an agreed upon benefit.
