A Second Life to Live

Surviving suicide

By Heather HeckermanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

A second life to live,

a second chance to forgive,

a second chance to start over

to treasure life like a four leaf clover.

A second chance to start anew,

a second chance for me and you,

a second chance to live life

to push away the pain and strife.

A second chance to wish and dream,

a second chance to mend the seam,

a second chance to be free

a second chance for you and me.

A second chance to dance and sing,

a second chance to see what life will bring,

a second chance to stop and pray

to wake up thankful for another day.
