One Chance

she was a teenager

and despised her siblings

always asking why she was given this life

and He would remind her:

be grateful for what  you have

‘cause we only got one chance at life

siblings are family and family is forever.

 

her hair is never good enough

and she has too many freckles

she worries about others’ opinions about her

then He would remind her:

be grateful for what you have

‘cause we only got one chance at life

you have more confidence than you think.

 

she always belittles herself

into thinking she isn’t good enough

her grades are never sufficient

and her talent is inadequate

then He would remind her:

be grateful for what you have

‘cause we only got one chance at life

you don’t need to be perfect to be phenomenal.
