A Second Chance

 

In life you will see the good and the bad

In life I feel everyone deserves a chance

Mistakes are made once or twice

Some make three, four, and five before they realize

That in order to progress and get things right

You must learn from the past and sacrifice

In life there's the rich and the poor

In life those of poverty some choose to ignore

A financial woe comes and goes

And prosperity brings along many foes

The gates of goodness opens up

For those who refuse to wait on luck

Some think the law is a fragile rock

Until they see the true size of a cell block

Some need a warning, some need a hug

A few need punishment but most need love

Open your heart and lend a hand

Money doesn't matter if you can be a friend

A loss of a job, a late payment

A bounced check can make or break you

An accumulation of bills that didn't get paid

Cause the funds you sought somehow got delayed

So for once look at the other person's shoes

Understand their problems and hold back the boo's

Everyone must crawl before they walk

Everyone must stutter before they talk

Every person needs two legs to stand

Therefore, everyone deserves a second chance.
