A Second Chance To begin again a challenge unwanted Now and then a spirit undaunted It can never be the same when a life is rebuilt But neither is there shame or any reason for guilt Your strength lets you try while holding back tears Where others would cry and give into their fears Where does the soul live? Is it in the mind or the heart? How much can it forgive? Will it make a fresh start? How many ideas make a human being? Are we just the sum of our thoughts? And those things we're still seeing? Is that for what we have fought? Born without defenses blank as a slate Given only senses Our soul to create What of the damage wrought by time and health? How can we manage to maintain the wealth? End the futile torment, of a fight best left unwon Cherish every moment as if it was the only one.
