Begin Again

Do over___
When they thought it was over,
When many claimed it was the end,
Please, do start again.
When things fall apart,
Don't let worries busy your mind; instead, rest
and shoot from the heart.
Take deep breaths and look within,
Find the courage to start again.
Start again with the tools you possess,
Gather them, polish them, and build again, no less.
Don't turn away from the ugliness of the raze 
Do look, but don't you dare hold a gaze.
Don't be afraid to start again...
And if you were not, become your best friend 
And don't sit too long after the seeming disaster,
Just know that now, your strength and knowledge are vaster.
So, don't be afraid to do it over again.
With your tools, begin again.
