A SECOND CHANCE

A SECOND CHANCE

A Poem by Salvatore Buttaci

All life was good when love was mine.
We woke to greet the day.
How grand it was to share our time!
The skies were never gray.
Then all at once you broke my heart.
You broke a sacred vow,
And while we lived our lives apart,
I wandered lonely as a cloud.
But God is good. My prayers were heard.
A true love I have found.
We live our lives and keep love’s word.
We walk on solid ground.

Touching Sal. I like the tempo and the rhyme of this piece. Touching way to show that though one person may have turned out to not be a fit, there just might be another that can fill the lonely voids.

Beautiful! It's great when life gives us more than we could have hoped! I love the rhyme and rhythm in this poem!

There is a message in this for me. I'm glad I happened across this piece. I'm happy to see that the dream is possible. You've written this in a perfect way - not a word out of place. Well done. :) And I thank you for sharing this.

bubbling with hope! it made a nice read...
its needed, that everyone knows, love once gone, is not gone forever...
there is someone out there who is meant for you...
good one!!

do you want suggestions for the underlined verse. "I wondered in the here and now."
