We could ride the storm
Get banged, bruised and survive
But we may never get a second chance
To rectify damages we've cause through
Trickery and lies
The devil says
“You know how romance is
You don’t get no second chances”
God says
“You will get many second chances
I will release you from the stanchions”
All that awaits
are the memories
All that’s left
still unclaimed
All that I treasure
lay buried inside
All in those choices
— unmade
(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)
Life is short;
Dare to love,
Dare to hate.
I love you,
You love me,
Love you all.
Don't let pass
Second chances,
Thrown away.
Thrive to live,
Live each day,
Reach each goal.
Losing you, rescued my spirit.
Like a Phoenix rising from ashes,
I caught fire from all the second chances.
I spread my wings and fly
A mystic flight of oblivion
and only lingering embers of saudade.
I use my pen like a mic
to tell people how God has saved me
and how His word changed me.
His love is what made me
and that Im forever grateful to God,
for the unlimited second chances
He has given me.
Lost in the dead of night,
Looking for the light.
Am I close to the shore?
Or am I so far away that I'm lost?
Hopefully my being it wont cost.
Come to me and guide me there,
Tell me that you still care.
Thou hast knocked
thrown thy rocks
at my window
Perhaps open heart surgery
a sharp tool required
to get thru decades of barricades
the ship that sailed is docking
the mutiny so long ago
Cool
spring
stirring
in silence
beneath winter’s breath,
its eternal magic potion
which awakens strength, life, love, hope and second chances
It is a gift that is freely given- renewed life and redemption for all that breathe.
~*~
This heart
so strong
and yet full of love
Able to believe
when hope is gone
But so fragile
and easy to be broken
cut by words
stabbed by ill will
Though strong enough to forgive
and willing to allow second chances
Form:
Second chances are said but never given
the sins of a sinner are unforgiven
wanna be Christians
your teacher's love is missing
preventing your light to shine through
you are not the image of your teacher
darkness dwells within you.
I most value today
what I used to walk by
And stop to revisit
what trailed from behind
Those moments once squandered
when offered again
In joyous acceptance
—I embrace from within
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
Why do you walk away?
I love the way we look into each others eyes and never look away.
Eyes like a silver moon that never leaves.
Secret Glances, Second Chances carry me.
Talking softly but never heard...
My dreams will never be the same...
Precedence are they mere fragments of one’s imagination dreams deferred of acceptance, denials, or excuses. Precedence beyond one’s control although it may seem.
In systems called life, Are their really second chances re repeated cycles in this game of precedence.
bright year of hope
a perfect way to improve
long and short days
a little older
a little wiser
365 days to come
more fights
but more maturity
second chances
more human creation
a stronger America
each day a new day
dreams and choices
better times to come
another year
Too late...for first impressions
Too late...for last reflections
Too late...for long discussions
Too late...for lost objections
Too late...for mending fences
Too late...for new romances
Too late...to pay the Piper
Too late...for second chances
Too late!!!
Second Chances 1

Tears often escape my eyes,
When I reflect that,
More often than not,
Only God gives second chances.
For all make mistakes,
While living life in combat,
As man’s credo of,
“Take no prisoners” advances;
Of all the places in the world,
You chose to come to me.
I try to keep us apart,
but you know where to find my heart.
I truly believe in us.
I truly wanted somthing.
But you ran away,
you drifted away.
Now you want a second chance.
You want to be here.
I should reject you.
But I know I can't.
Form:
Can I call you mine?
I guess not.
It took me some time
To realize this fact.
Smiles reassure second chances
But never will it
Blossom and bloom.
Lady, I am weary.
Induce me a deep sleep
And allocate my fears.
Though I call you mine;
Your heart,
With aggravations,
Will never be.
The sun shows it's power,
The sun shows it's love,
The sun shines so brightly,
It soars like a dove.
The moon's luminescence,
Cools heated hearts,
She gives second chances,
She gives brand ne starts.
The stars up above,
light our beautiful sky,
They give us our wishes,
They give hope to try.
Forgiveness is essential, I am told,
but it makes me think of the rule of gold.
When I think of the mistakes I've made,
all the harm I have conveyed,
and the second chances I've been given,
I still hope to be forgiven.
So, when it comes to forgiving others,
the golden rule applies to my brothers.
Second Chances 3

My Doctors give their best
During my life and death hour,
But was unable to explain
Why my life hadn't ended.
Some recognized, and said,
It's due to a higher power,
After doing all they could
On prayer/God it depended.
She was so young
And in the prime of life
I miss her every day
Much more than she ever thought I would
While I took for granted
We’d never run out of tomorrows
Life got busy
The lord came to take her away
No possibility of second chances
How I ache for just one more yesterday

walking into my work is when you are
stepping onto dangerous territory
i have no time for second chances
i want a reliable partner
no lies, second life, or secrets
i want to be hopelessly in love
have a marriage full of love and adventure
no more nights reading between the lines
trying to figure you out
and why you're not home yet
Life is short but long enough
to make plans and make
some dreams come true
Life is kind and generous
it offers time for second chances
and even a string of redos
Life is short but in the end
you'll be liable for what you've done
but equally for what you didn't do
Use your time wisely ~
