There are times when I am out of step
And it’s noticeable just to me
But I go to grab that shiny apple
Someone beats me to it; so it is gone for me
The Just-Missed-It syndrome happens so often
It seems to destroy the best laid plans
Missed dreams and missed desires
Opportunity slipping out of our hands
We may think our dream is dead
Or there is no room for us to succeed
But that missed second is really a gift
We get the chance to see what we truly need
Somewhere your dream is still intact
That missed moment did not steal your light
You will get another shot at your apple
And there will be no struggle when your timing is right
Do not despair because you were a second behind
Your opportunity will be there again
You will connect quickly to your dream
And you will celebrate a beginning and not an end
