For all the times that I mess up <br />In my enthusiam <br />To try to do things my way; <br />In my pig-headedness <br />To think I know what's best; <br />In my determination <br />To prove that I am right. <br />Yes, for all those times that <br />I simply get it very wrong indeed, <br />When you should be giving me <br />A piece of your mind, <br />When you should be showing me <br />The door, <br />When you should be merciless <br />To this fallen mess of humanity <br />Instead... you give me <br />A second chance. <br /> <br />Phew!<br /><br />Bob Oldfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-chance-2/
