A Chance in Life

by

Heather Nicole Luther

Do we dare overlook the small
Creatures of the sea?
Or do we ignore the elegance
Of that in a bee?

Do we deny the rights of a fare life
To those who never had the chance?
Or do we not teach the ones
Who wanted to learn to dance?

Do we ever stop and consider
How our actions reflect?
Or do we know that our
Feelings people detect?

Some people aren’t as fortunate
But we don’t seem to care.
It could be our lives like that
If we don’t beware.

Some little kid could
Be waiting to learn.
Others might be worried
Where they’re not concerned.

The smallest child may
Be alone in the dark.
And their souls empty and shallow
Like that in a bark.

The tiniest person could
Be filled with great wonders.
While the bigger boys play
And are afraid of the thunder.

Each one of us is filled
With great little gifts.
We’re just too scared to use them
Until our souls someone lift.

We shouldn’t dare hide ourselves
Away from another one’s eyes.
Instead let ourselves shine
Like the stars in the skies.
Believe it or not
We were all born the same,
No matter the situation
Or no matter our name.

God blessed us all
With wonderful things,
And He gave us brightness
Like that how to sing.

We all have and deserve
A chance in this life.
And that we are guaranteed
Through pain and through strife.

Never forget who you are
And never be ashamed.
Be proud of yourself,
Your culture, and your pride-filled name.
