Metcalf has written a poem; read it and let it rattle around your subconscious
as you work toward forming your New Year's Resolutions.
Empty Versus Overfilled
One Shot
One chance
Better jump on the train
Or stand alone in the rain.
Make decisions
Ask questions
Pull up your pants
Lift your chin
And be a man.
One Shot
One chance
Swim against the flow
Or be eaten alive.
Fight tooth and nail
For all you want and need
But keep your heart
Cuz without it
All the shots…
All the chances…
Will mean nothing.
To die with respect
But have no love
Is like watchin' all those shots
All those chances
All the opportunities
Pass you by without a care.
