My soul and my mind has been trapped in the past
Clinching on to the things that couldn’t last
I wanna make a change and this chance could be my last
Last chance to see her smile
Last chance to hear her laugh
Last chance to hear her sing
Last chance to watch her sleep
Last chance to hold her in my arms as she lays next to me
I’ve been searching for guidance
Seeking answers from others
Trying to retain the knowledge in my thoughts because only applying it can make me better
Last chance to commit
Last chance at redemption
Last chance to serve
Last chance at a new life
Last chance to be a better man in the eyes of my wife
I see now with a clear head and clear sight
Nothing could be greater than making my life right
Living right by my daughters
Living right by my wife
Last chance to be a greater husband and father till the end of my life

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
