One More Try

I haven’t always done the best I can do. I see where I am and what I’ve been through. The sun sinks low like it bows to the sky, Maybe I’ll get it right with one more try? Darkness surrounds, still I try to see. Illuminating stars spark all I can be. When I want to dream, I look to the sky. Maybe I’ll get it right with one more try? Memories haunt like ghosts in my head. I just can’t forget the things that were said. I watch the moon rise, I dream I can fly. Maybe I’ll get it right with one more try? I lay my down in bed in need of some sleep. I just close my eyes and count some sheep. My mind wonders as my heart asks why? Maybe I’ll get it right with one more try? I awaken and light fills my eyes. As the sun chases the moon from the sky. It’s a new day, I hear angels sigh, Maybe I’ll get it right with one more try?
