Live Once More

If i could live life all over again,
My hand would not let go of this simple pen,
I like to let people know of my life gone by,
But it does bring a tear, a tear to my eye,
I was not lucky,  and had no love,
But that does not stop me,  having faith in god above,
I hope people learn from the lines i write,
As then that would make my life, my life  so bright,
People judge me on my life before,
And that some-times hurts and feels so sore,
I am not the man i use to be,
So please let me live life and let me be free,
I would love to love everyone with all my heart,
But you need to know love right from the start,
