Second Chances

He never really thought about it nor did he see reason to care Life was about true grit and he knew damn sure it wasn't fair As he had made it this far and never needed anybody's hand He didn't just wish upon a star but everything he had planned As he was driving along, he suddenly jammed on the brakes Something had went wrong and really that is all it ever takes It was a really horrible scene and he almost didn't survive He thought the light was green, this on just a simple drive When the man did finally awake it was a very slow process Let there be no mistake many issues he had time to address See the man had clinically died as the doctors tried to revive As once again they tried, but that is not why today he is alive He won't talk about his own story but today he's very different About seeing some Glory, I don't know what the hell he meant He"s not the way he used to be, no he's just not the same guy But now he is actually nice to me so who am I to ask him why

All of us do not get second chances..but our God does not "break a bruised reed nor quench a smoking flax"(Isaiah 42:3-KJV). What a merciful God we serve:)

Thank You Joanna, I had more chances than I care to remember. The Lord is so Merciful. It is just sad that many aren't aware of His Awesome Love. The Lord doesn't stop loving them. But they miss out in so much by not having this relationship. I pray they realize now, not then.

Yes Dorian, and a point being we all won't get such an opportunity. You have a wonderful weekend also. With a winter approaching we pray all are safe. God Bless!
