#23 of 30 Poems by Christine Tracy

Second Chances

I have been:

Struck by lightning

Knocked down by a pit bull

Stared down by a bear

Stalked by a mountain lion

Strangled by anaphylaxis

Crushed by bankruptcy.

I have survived:

A catastrophic car crash

Extremely dumb decisions

Painful falls

And dashed dreams.

Yet somewhere in there:

I found beautiful, wonderful

Gifts.

Like love, family,

Friendship, and adventure.

I learned: 

The value of life

The wonder of the second chance

I discovered risk often works out

And I realized I must be here

For a reason.

The Art of Friendship

You're there

When I hurt

When I fall

When I win.

You tell me you're proud

When I have a victory

And you're there with a shoulder

When I don't.

With you I can be

Me

And you can be

You.

One who bares their heart

And allows you to bare your's;

That kind of friend

Is golden.

That kind

Takes time to nurture,

Takes trust and

Humble honesty.

Are you my friend?

Do you have a moment?

To hear me laugh? Cry?

Will you share your heart with me?

Can we play? Have coffee?

Talk across the miles?

Hang out across eternity?
