Reasons?

The gate is open: why not just walk through?
It's ok, from here I can see the view.
But past that wall is wide open space, there!
Don't hector me, please do not point and stare.

It is open wide, nothing stopping you.
There may be someone hiding, Who knows who?
If you don't try, you'll never discover.
Unless I stay, I may not recover.

Possible today, tomorrow maybe not.
Is there a rush, do I get just one shot?
Miss this chance and only you will complain.
I may not walk this ideal way again.
