A Chance to do Better

How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning,
A chance to blot out our  mistakes
And change failure into winning -
And it does not take a special time
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes the deep desire
To try with all our heart 

To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little “sunshine”
To the world in which we’re living -
So never give up in despair
And think that you are through,
For there’s always a tomorrow
And a chance to start anew.
