Everyone Deserves a Chance

So many people come and go Into your life with ebb and flow Some stick around awhile it seems Some live in memories and dreams The higher standard we impose On those we love,the friends we chose Will meet our expectations thus We hold them dear and close to us It's just a shame that we don't give A second look to those who live Within our world and at arm's length We think that we are showing strength By never granting second chances Not so much as furtive glances We're losing out on humankind The good in people we might find So reach out with your other hand Be the one who makes a stand You might discover there is worth In every person from their birth ** for contest"Meeting Expectations" sponsored by Paula Swanson
