Best Second Chances Poems


Premium Member A God of Second Chances
My heart is overflowing
With a love that just keeps growing
Lighting the path toward hope
Leaving me weightless, like a feather
More alive because we’re together

My mind is filled with joy
Laughter and love, amazing power
Whispered to the heavens
On the rays of lemon sunlight
Reflected in the stars
As they twinkle...

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...

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...

God of Second Chances
Somewhere down the line,
When everything seemed fine,
I slipped and had a fall,
Oh! It was great, not small;
I tried, but couldn't get up,
And was feeling truly fed up,
I asked God with a frown,
"Why did You let me down?"
He smiled gently at me,
And said, "Don't you see?
You...

Forgiveness and Second Chances
There's something I must confess
I have made the biggest mess
And I'm sorry as can be
Begging you to forgive me
Standing her with my regrets
Hoping something in you lets
My apology be heard
Knowing your heart is badly hurt
There's no way I will stop trying
To repair a heart that's...

I've been watching the people across the street for about a year now. We wave at each other every once in a while, not really much more than seeing a familiar face without a name. There were a couple of times when the granddaughters would...

Tomorrow is a lie and the lie of tomorrow is
There will be a second chance to say 
All the I love you’s and miss you’s and
Everything that needs to be said
The lie of tomorrow rings with truth
All the words left unspoken and never heard
Whispered affections...

Second Chances
We shared moments of affection before we changed our minds. Now, we stand here contemplating if we should try it one more time.

The years behind us have been merciful through our trials and tribulations, making our lessons learned well and releasing any expectations.

Now, I see...

Her heart is broken, his leaving unbearable,
 her world is a fog, that she can't see through. 
His heart is aching, her soul is frozen, all she wants is to see through the sadness. 
The endless pit she's falling for, how long will this...

Second Chances
They think everything is perfect when the baby's out.
But the Dads so messed up he should be in a crazy house.
The dad doesn't take part in his children's lives.
But in his children's eyes, He drinks to get rid of the pain inside.
He sits there drunk...

Some think I’m soft
because I give second chances.
 Even when I’m aware
of self made circumstances.

Many times when I think
I’ve just opened the door.
That I’m once more taken, 
and they’ll be back, for more.

But those times when I think
that I’ve been done wrong.
God...

Chance: Undeserved But Provided
 How many fools who know my name
And what I do will dare
Walk with me and talk to me
As if, for me, they really care? 

 None, I used to think
Would be stupid enough to try
To put up with the fool who often
Turned his victim's...

Snowman - Eighty Dollar Legend

Through gales of howling snows
Three horses in the knackers van, 
Auction over;

Two with eyes cast down to meet their fate in frozen tears
But one, head raised up high - living fire still in the eyes of eight years past,
Engages delayed latecomer...
