Another Chance

Have you ever heard your thoughts

Going back to yesteryears

A place where flocks

All your memories dear 

You Spin and mull those dreams 

Through cobwebs or be clear

Your heart feels half or full

Knowing you are, your own cheer

But if life seems aghast

Eerily veered from path

Knowing promises were not kept

Are going to bear the wrath

Those childhood dreams precious

Life lived abstemious 

Marred by shadows dark

For reasons so facetious

Hey God! now please do listen

And be a real sport

I promise not to be smitten

By wrong path at the fork

Commit hardship or I suffer 

In my mind, there is no doubt

Just give me chance another
Path sunlit or shadowed by cloud

I will, I will do all
In mind I know won't fall
Promises will keep me tall
Not mind lifespan be small
Balancing soul with pride
Learning life's lessons, contrite
Promises I want to keep
Be burden heavy or light
