A Second Chance At Life

There was an eight year part of my life When my answer to any question that was asked of me was "I don't care", I am very happy now to say that I have aged and have acquired a little more wisdom. And my life goals and aspirations are no longer a stare. I had truly hit rock bottom more than a time or two in my life But I have had the courage and strength needed to climb out It is no surprise that once your are out of the pit that you are scared And may not possibly know which way to turn. But if you keep God's strength, courage and hope in your heart, that climb was something that you had earned. All of my wrongs were put behind me And I was given a fresh, new start With that in mind, and starting over at forty It was if God gave me a new heart.
