Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Second Chance

He had often tried before but always with no success 
Always another closed door or making more of a mess
He was really at his wits end where he just didn’t care 
Maybe some things don’t mend for life just isn’t fair

A few years had past and he rarely gave it a thought 
On his list it was last of what he had now sought 
But there just ahead was who he tried to forget
He’d prefer anything instead and then their eyes met

Both trying to look away their eyes once again meet
All those words he couldn’t say weren’t such a feat
And she finally replied so hurt by what he had done
About how he lied and walked out on their son

He knew he was wrong saying he wanted to apologize
Back then I wasn’t that strong but now I do realize 
The best thing in my life is no longer there anymore 
Losing my Wife my Son, for the first time my heart tore

I felt what I did to you, I felt what I did to our Son
And this pain is so new like something I’ve never done 
Maybe it’s s too late and I know we can never go back
Perhaps it was fate that today put us on the same track
