Opportunity Knocks
Knock, knock – knock, knock
What a surprise!
We’ve opened the door to
greet what has arrived
And there on the threshold
in its full splendour
stands the greatest opportunity
that we can remember
We’ve invited it in
Couldn’t send it away
We’ve questioned it, nourished it
and it now wants to stay
Our guest brings potential
of a magnitude not yet known
And accepts our invitation
to cultivate what’s to be grown
With a spirit of openness
and a heart-centred passion
we want a beautiful crop
picked to share and not ration
Our guest is holding space
and will stay for a while
encouraging our work
like a nanny with child
And our guest may bring friends
to meet us as well
Ah – it’s the land of opportunity
In which we do dwell…
