5477. Opportunity does not appear

```

When we do not avail ourselves

Of opportunity,

Opportunity goes away.

Then the time comes when we feel

A desperate need for opportunity,

But opportunity does not appear.

Our deplorable fate

And our earthly existence

Are forced by the higher forces

To remain together and helplessly wait

For death’s hour to arrive.
