A Second Chance

Feeling thankful 

But undeserving

Asking, “why me?”

While so many others 

Suffer in silence

I was spared 

Set free

How do I repay 

Such a miraculous gift

When mere words 

Cannot explain

How grateful I am 

To be here

Yet, still confused

The enigma remains

I’m just ordinary 

Without extraordinary gifts

Following my path each day

Trying to be 

Better than I was before

Hopefully, this answer 

Will find me 

Quietly, in my dreams 

In this peaceful place 

Where angels whisper

While I listen, intently
