Oh to be given a second chance
to not expect perfection
and withhold forgiveness.
Oh to be given a second chance
to love in everything
through practicing of this act.
Oh to be given a second chance
to not hold onto anger
fully embracing the compassionate.
Oh to be given a second chance
to let go grudges
and believe in resilience.
Oh to be given a second chance
to love beyond hope
and not stay in the dance of regret.
Oh to be given a second chance
to learn from the past
not letting encouragement lapse.
Oh to be given a second chance
to choose grace
and give more than you can't.
Oh to be given a second chance
when others place limits
in the first glance.
Oh to be given a second chance
to connect the souls
making the boundaries collapse.
Oh to be given a second chance
the heart of the message
brings benefits to the max.
