Second chances,
The hoofs of dreams

Ignites the engine
Of this soul...

hovering over lost years

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

I use my pen like a mic
to tell people how God has saved me
and how His word changed me.

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...

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

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......

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...

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....

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....

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.

He knew he messed up bad
Far from his proudest moment
Decisions needed to be made
It was time to grow up
Swore he’d make it up to her
If she would only forgive him
Promised she’d never regret
Giving him a second chance

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...
