Second Chances

It’s funny how things change,
There was a time when other things mattered,
In life not all dreams come true,
But there comes a time when you realize,
That the things that matters most,
Are the things you already have,
And everything else takes second place.
Sometimes you have to wonder,
What the fuss was all about,
So many did not make it through,
So many lives have been cut short,
So many have met untimely deaths,
So many tears have been shed,
So many have known sorrow,
For so many there is no tomorrow.

So many of us spend our lives complaining
When we should be giving thanks,
For the life that we have,
It may not be perfect,
But we are alive, and because we are alive,
There is still hope.
There is hope for a brighter tomorrow,
Hope to see our dreams come true.
We must use the time we have,
To repair broken relationships,
Heal old wounds,
Forgive those who hurt us,
And be at peace with our enemies,
Our friends and ourselves.

Hope {Beverly J Anderson}

Hope is the anchor we cling to
When we’re tempest-tossed on life’s sea.
Hope gives us courage to hang on
No matter how bad things be.

Hope is a candle that’s shining
When we’ve lost our course in the night.
Steadfast its light as it guides us
Back to the path we know is right.

Hope brings new strength for life’s journey,
Endurance for running the race.
When we are tired hope helps us
To keep a brave smile on our face.

Hope sees a brighter tomorrow,
And helps set our gaze towards the sky,
Knowing behind every dark cloud
A rainbow appears by and by.

Hope tells us to keep dreaming,
Although our dream, seems far away.
Hope plants a song in our being –
A joyous song to greet each day.

Hope is a priceless possession,
A gift that forever lives on.
Deep in our heart shines its promise…
“Child, after the night comes the dawn!”
