If we could have a second chance
to go back to the days of yore
what events would we experience again
and what events would we explore?
If we could have a second chance
to go back to the past
what mistakes would we rectify
and what mistakes would we lambaste?
If we could have a second chance
to experience life again
how would we rewrite our life’s stories
to learn better from pleasure and pain?
If we could have a second chance
to start our relationship once more
we would make amends and changes,
and we would always have rapport.
If we could have a second chance
to use the knowledge we have gained
we would be wise at last
according to what God has ordained.
We cannot retrace the steps of the past
that we have already gone through,
but today and tomorrow bring a second chance
for us to try anew.
