Second Chances

Perhaps it is a different time to softly walk and just unwind for within this new dawn brings fragrant lullabies blossoming friendships and strong family ties Perhaps there is much more to see within each day, low what lay beneath-- tainted and toiled; soiled, shambles things that hinder --not in focus The once upon a golden dreams fantasy, fallacies upon those shores where we were to meet somewhere cries the silver lining from the clouds where my head did lay awakening upon the ground and again and again so the story goes Until I got the courage to go to a place that doesn't feel much like home Exhaled a breath when I crossed the county line Still the hardest of all was pulling into a familiar drive as She opened the trailer door frail and in her eighties The woman who disproved everything thing I did at one time as our eyes met there was a softness in mine "Perhaps this is not the right time?" Remembering the hurt of her never nurturing crossed my mind "No." as she struggled to put a plate of food before me and my upset stomach Funny how the food was exceptionally well for my ailment and I was hungry after all I told her of my mistakes and this time there was a softness in her words Perhaps there was more than the second chance I had set out to find This one was for me. How selfish could I be?!
