Second Chances

Everybody needs second chances;
everybody needs to start again;
everybody needs to be forgiven;
everybody needs a chance to win.

I need a second chance . . .
I need to start my life again . . .
I need to feel that I’m forgiven . . .
I need to know that I can win.

I must forgive those who hurt me,
but first myself I must forgive.
I must accept my many failures
and someday learn to fully live.

Everybody needs second chances;
everybody needs to start again;
everybody needs to be forgiven;
everybody needs a chance to win.

Yes,
everybody needs second chances,
and
“everybody” means—

even me.
