SECOND CHANCE

Life whispers softly through the cracks of time, A fragile heart beats, unsure but prime. Mistakes once carved in shadows deep, Now lie dormant, awake from sleep. We stumbled once through shadowed days, Lost in the maze of our own ways. Yet life, persistent, gently calls, And love still waits beyond old walls. And from those days, a lesson grows, The past may linger, scarred and raw, Yet hope arrives, without a flaw. For hearts that falter, hearts that break, Find courage in the chance to wake. A second chance, a whispered start, To mend the pieces of the heart. Through storms we’ve known, through nights we’ve roamed, We find at last our way back home. © Mukami Kinyua
