What would you do with the offering?

If just one time you could not fail;
Would you sail the world? Save a whale?
Take up oil painting or dabble in pottery?
Win the Derby or maybe the lottery?

Would you cure cancer, or fly your own jet?
Or just start walking to see where you’d get?
Would you have a big office, or live in a tent?
If you could would you choose to be a lady or gent?

Would you live in pajamas and sleep until ten?
Or never have need to sleep again!
Would you live on a mountain? Or under the sea!
Would you open the jails and set everyone free?

Would you rather be smart than handsome or pretty?
Prefer solitude or be chatty and witty?
Would you prefer to be single or wed?
If you couldn’t fail, who would sleep in your bed?

Would you live in the future? Or back in the past?
Take life at leisure, or live it real fast?

Be center stage? Or stay on the side?
Easily tell the truth from the lie?

Would you rather be loved, or be the lover?
Be the book or be the cover?

Singer or dancer? Respected or feared?
See the future before it neared?
Have wings to fly? Or breathe underwater?
The Nobel Prize, or the love of your daughter?

What if you fell flat on your face?
In front of the world became a disgrace?
What would you want them to say when you died?
That you never failed?

or you never tried!
