A Second Chance

You only go ‘round once in life so make it all you can.
There are no do-over’s to make it right, no chance to start again.
Words that once escape your lips can never be recast.
And the opportunity that comes today may very well be the last.

This wisdom seems self-evident to all the human race.

Of course the past is past and the outcomes we must face.
But let each new day remind us of the Grace that comes so free
That offers now to all who seek, a Second Chance to be.

To be the friend who encourages, lifts up and makes one glad.

To be the one to lead the way through valleys deep and sad
To be a beacon shining out, a light in which to dance.
To be all that He intends when He gives the Second Chance.
