There are lovers that get it right the first time
They're the ones that say "I do" till their last breath
They know a love that always lasts a lifetime
It's a love that only ends when there is death
But me, I wasn't one of the lucky
I didn't get it right first time around
Pain and heartache met me on life's journey
And love ended on a bitter ugly ground
But God must believe in second chances
Cause He's the one that led me here to you
(Chorus)
You're my second chance
But really my first love
You're a vision of the hope that should have drowned
But there you are
And I am blessed
Love came the second time around
Here I am with you the second time around
And I hope I’ve learned from my mistakes
But on those days when I’m bound to stumble
Can you find some mercy and some grace
The days and months and years we’ve shared
Have only helped to heal the past
I look at you and know there’s hope
That this love’s gonna last
Yes, God must believe in second chances
Cause He's the one that’s kept me here with you
(Chorus)
You're my second chance
But really my first love
You're a vision of the hope that should have drowned
But there you are
And I am blessed
Love came the second time around
(Bridge)
Now I believe in second chances
And it’s all because of God and you

This is more of a song than a poem. I wrote it as a song, but still no music has been matched with it. This was written in July of 2013. Written for those lovers who found their love... the second time around.
