-->
We may not have the means at hand
To change a circumstance.
But we may gain, to our relief,
A welcome second chance.
A chance to prove that we will try,
With all our might and mind,
To change our way, to right some wrong,
And pull our weight again.
So let us thank the generous folk
Who overlook our lapse,
And put their trust in our success,
Where once we failed, perhaps.
The second chance can bring results,
The first one to out weigh
For in the mean time we have learned
A little more each day.
