I hope to God I get another chance
After this life has served it's last
Just one go 'round isn't enough
To try every road I happen to pass
When we get to Heaven,
- I hope that Heaven is there
But just as much I need to have
An exit to earthbound stairs.
This life already has become a web
From all the chances I wanted to take
I couldn't leave well enough alone
So brace for the gossip at my wake
Maybe this isn't my first time out
Perhaps a challenge is what I asked?
It would explain the awkward hell I've raised
Out of these normal everyday tasks
I guess the challenge isn't over yet
since it appears I haven't died
So I might as well rough-it some more
There must be more out there to try...
If I do get another go
after this life start its decay
I hope that I can recall it well
I don't want my memories blown away
But maybe that is why we dream
those are fragments of days gone by
The petal stains of our previous lives
Pressed between the pages we live and die
