Chances

Chances

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th

5^th chances

When is enough

Where was the line

That was drawn in the sand

Was it crossed

On the way

To the grass

That is always greener

On the other side

The slope is slippery

If you try, try again

Does your footing get more sure

Learn from your mistakes

Move forward

Progress

Compromise

Adapt

Adjust

Modify

Keep drawing lines

In sand that is constantly changed

By the ebb and flow

Of the tides of life

6^th, 7^th, 8^th, 9^th

10^th chances

I won’t stop, not ever

Crossing that line

Scratched in sand or dirt

Engraved in steel

Carved in wood

That first step is a big one

And you’re worth it
