Another Chance

Tears streaming down my face Looking at the sight surrounding me The chaos of a scene that was a celebration, Festivity, being the Last thing on my mind As I am the only one left behind All those times I thought I was doing His will I was cheating myself, Now all I’m left with are the tears, And the question, “What could I have done differently?” To experience the joy of congregating on the other side All I’m left with is this simple prayer That this is just a nightmare, And that I will have another opportunity, Another chance, to strive to do His will Another chance to live my life differently…

Wow this sure is moving missy tuna--is this for a contest? I really like how this oozes with remorse & regret-- & uh-oh that poem of mine is NOT happening! My mind is as clean as a slate haha ;) and goodness I am soo not sending him to you! I haven't had my fair share of sleep, only when I get my sleepy cycle back will you be able to catch a glimpse of him-- meanie girl right here!

I don't know what you could have done to have been on the wrong side, I think you judge yourself harshly, because you seem such a well meaning person, Wilma! nice heartfelt poem! Luv, Andrea

It seems the very act of desiring, if sincere, is certain to bring you "another chance." I cannot believe in a vengeful deity. Dave

Wilma, we have to cling to hope that God in his wisdom will give us the chance to set things right. Very nice entry for the "left behind" contest and I wish you success. Love, Carolyn
