Untimely readiness
Children learn to walk as soon as they try,
Birds must fall before they can soar high.
Opportunities arise unexpectedly,
Seizing them demands no readiness decree.
Success knows no perfect timing's caress,
Risk is ingrained in decisions we address.
Learn as you go, when you arrive there,
In the journey, carry all burdens you dare.
About this poem
The poem intends to relay to everyone that there is no perfect timing to grab an opportunity and risk is not optional
