I’ve lost so many of my second chances
Death holds me close and unnervingly dances
Taking the time to savor my passing
I’ve no more hope of searching or asking
I was a baby a lifetime ago
The world was so huge with so much to know
Dreams got confused, both lost and scattered
I didn’t hold on to the things that mattered
My misguided heart and oft without thought
Indulging indifference when I should have fought
Will Fate turn its back and forget my existence
Does hope yet have sway beyond all my resistance
A chance to renew, to restart or forgive
A chance to try harder to love and to live
Let go of my darkness and blamed circumstances
Grab hold and live gratefully all bestowed second chances
