A Poem Written about the single dating life
by Vivian Ennis 04/28/05

Blind ambition never knowing what you got
thinking you want one thing
and not seeing that you already have a lot

Chances are you will miss the big beautiful boat
but who is to say that time will not help it stay afloat

Ambition, adventure and freedom now is sought
wanting so much and not seeking what you already got

Assuming one thing and jumping the gun
just so you will feel safe, hoping I am not the one

Never letting what you have be good enough for you
throwing away a love who is already there with you too

Riddles and questions never knowing what is real
not asking what I might want, assuming I don’t feel

Strange thoughts that come out your mouth not thinking before you speak
I have a heart believe me, I am not so weak

Blind ambition can take from you what you have now in your life
hold on tight to what you have even your husband or wife

Ambition can be good
but never take advantage of those who are here for you now
don’t take people for granted learn to hold on and how
