The land of opportunity is
More than a place
It’s a state of mind
The land of opportunity is an attitude
It is an openness to new ideas
A willingness to listen
An eagerness to learn
A desire to know
And the flexibility to change
The land of opportunity
Is a new way of dealing with one another
It becomes a reality
When we stop judging each other
By superficial criteria
And begin to see
And appreciate
Everyone
As uniquely
Talented
Capable
And valuable
The land of opportunity
Is where we live and work
When we choose
To see with new eyes
Live from our hearts
And allow ourselves
And others
To be what we truly are: Ourselves
