It was there
right in front of our eyes
but for whatever reason
we didn’t see it
or want it badly enough
so we bid it farewell
and continued on
in a blur of lost days
and sunless nights
until its defiant glare
returned
to give us another chance
and this time we both knew
how lucky we were
To know love...

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Dear Roniece, you rendered this second chance so very well, in such a captivating way that it will remain with me as a delightful impression and a wise reminder too.

Very beautiful!

Love,

Dear Roniece, somtimes we can't see the forest for the trees but usually when we

look a little deeper the picture becomes a little clearer and I am so glad that you found love.  Love to you sweet lady.

Roniece

For a woman who recently said that she couldn't write poetry just now, you are turning out some remarkable stuff.  I love this and am happy you share with us.

Love,
Ali

Roniece - yes, this is an excellent write.  Not many of us get a second chance so consider yourself ... "blessed".

RDB...Second chances, a blessing that most of us never get, or if we do we are so blinded by pride we never see. Great write, enjoyed...Paul

I love second chances...they are truly a blessing. Funny, how we think we would never get another chance and when we least expect it..boom it happens Gotta love it!!

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
