Second chance

Many times in life it appears

That the best is over, you fear

That what you have lost would define

The rest of your future, you resign

Yourself to this assumed fate

You let all hope for the future dissipate

You exist in the present and pine for the past

In which you had actually felt alive last

*

With your new reality peace you’ve made

The memories you were holding onto are beginning to fade

One fine day your life takes a turn

In the positive direction, you learn

That there is a silver lining to the cloud before you

You have received a second chance out of the blue..

*

You take this chance hesitatingly

You are afraid of your vulnerability

As life unfolds in a beautiful way

You let hope re-enter your heart, and stay

You feel alive in the moment once again

This second chance has erased your pain
