Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

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 even know what he even 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

Joanna Daniel January 24, 2016 at 8:59 AM 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:) Vincent Flannery January 24, 2016 at 10:01 AM 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.
