Opportunity Cost
Thank God for the tears
I am grateful for all my fears
I owe my challenges and struggles much gratitude,
For if it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be this woman with all the attitude
Thank you, God, for the bump you gave me when I was not feeling steady
Because it introduced two adoptive parents when I was not ready,
A chance to learn,
A chance to for some growth to earn
I look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead,
The challenges that I do not look upon with dread,
But with ambition,
Towards an education, my next expedition
Now it is my turn to give back
I must not let opportunity to travel, slip through the crack
That is why I will study energy policy
In Europe, to gain other perspectives with modesty
I hope to give back to humanity
So that they can have a habitat without too much calamity
Climate change is in full swing,
And so are goals to stop this thing.
