A.H. Browning

An Uneasy Confession

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
