Second Chances

Do you believe that second chances are a way to mend what was broken?
Apologizes are not easily accepted and hardly ever spoken.
Suppose you we’re given another chance to undo all your past mistakes.
Would that alter your life’s fate?
A lot times in my life I wonder where do I belong,
Especially, after I undo all my past wrong.
In life we make a lot of mistakes but we shall learn from them all. 
Whether, they are big and small.
Sometimes the truth will never be revealed.
Sometimes the wounds doesn't find time to heal. 
It only takes a deep desire to try with all our heart.
It does not take a new day to make a brand new start.
Giving another chance without having a revengeful mind, 
It shows humanly compassion and always remembers to be kind. 


“Sometimes life gives you a second chance, or even two! Not always, but sometimes. It’s what you do with those second chances that counts.”

very true words hope we can all learn from our mistakes and get a second chance. I used to look after an old lady in her 90's she used to say' 3 things never come back, the spoken word, the sped arrow and the neglected opportunity' wise words indeed Lovely write. Jan x
