A poem about starting over in life, a second chance.

You go through life,

Waiting for a chance for a do-over.

Then the impossible happens, and you have that chance.

You do not know how it happened,

Or why it is happening to you.

But you seize the moment, and you value your way of life.

You feel you have nothing to give,

And yet, you know that you have everything to give,

To everybody.

You feel you have an obligation to everybody, and you know that you have to help yourself,

For you come first in life.

Or, at least,

You know that you are ready.

In all things,

Life will be born again.
