Second Chances
By Paul Wilson


I remember good times
we shared over the years
These special memories
now fill my heart with tears

As I watch flowers bloom
and rainbows in the sky
The thought of you lingers
and I begin to cry

We always wonder why
when someone is taken
They leave behind loved one’s
with hearts that are breaking

Come back, come back we plead
there’s much I want to say
Please don’t leave me so soon
give me just one more day

What would you do if you
were given one more day
What would you choose to do
what would you want to say

Would you spend it alone
or with the one’s you love
Just twenty four hours more
a gift from God above

Today may be that day
one more before you go
Don’t waste your second chance
this could be it you know

How very very true m'friend..
we should never waste or take for granted one single day!
Love this write.
