Another Chance
Never, did she ever, imagine the pain
that comes from money, tangled with fame
how many times had she been down this road
each time getting older with the life she chose
every night, she welcomed them in
showing her kindness, time and again
rich ones, poor ones, and all in between
each time they left her, another they would send
years did pass while nothing changed
seemed like everyone knew her name
one lonely night, she could not sleep
her life so empty, she felt defeat
then that night, a knock at the door
a homeless man, fell to the floor
she gave him food, and a warm place to sleep
he told her softly, "thank you for helping me"
they grew very close, during his stay
and shared their stories along the way
love came calling that cold, dark night
now happy together, seems so right
