New Chances

Possibilities, both new and old.
Never shut yourself out from the cold
Because it will make you appreciate
The warmth a bit more. Never wait
For anything to catch up with you
Just like you cannot wait to be through
With old doors before opening new ones.
Darling, you cannot be the one who outruns
The fresh chances that come your way.
You have to sometimes try to stray
From the path just a bit to learn to say yes.
Life is still always going to be a mess
In the end. This is your chance to shine,
Bloom and to be the first one in line
This time without being second best.
I know that you are weary and need a rest,
But you have this handled because this
Is your year. This is only your bliss.
