ANOTHER CHANCE

 

We have a chance each morning…

before we walk out our front door 

to be a better person…

than we were the day before…

Right away we notice…

when our feet first hit the floor

that we are a little different 

than we were the day before.

Certainly we’re one day older…

but there’s also something more…

more than just our age 

that makes us different than before.

Love and loss…victory and defeat…

we never know what’s in store

whatever happened yesterday…good or bad 

makes us a little different t

han we were the day before.

Each day brings with it new adventures…

each moment we’re awake

and we hope we learn as much from our successes 

as we do from our mistakes.

But on we go…we forge ahead…

out into the world we soar…

hoping today we are a little better 

than we were the day before.

Perhaps a little kinder, more compassionate, 

more accepting…and what’s more…

perhaps a little wiser t

han we were the day before.

If not…there is one consolation…

tomorrow…

when our feet first hit the floor

we’ll be given another chance 

to be a little better 

than we were the day before.
