Second Bite At Life

 Fickle spring weather

   Flaunts winter’s tether,

Restoring trust in steadfastness,

   Sells urge to persist

   Gives life a new twist—

Emboldening new beginnings

Birds of a feather

   Oft flock together,

Pursuing dreams that lie dormant.

   So, make a short list,

   Good friends will assist

Emboldening new beginnings.

Be a bellwether,

   Stop useless blether,

Navigate life with verve and zest.

   Ban cease and desist,

   Though heart may resist

Emboldening new beginnings.

When spring rolls together

   Bright highs and dark nether,

Reflect on life…take second bite.

   Born again, insist,

   Get off waiting list

And embolden your new beginning.
