'A Second Time Around' Poem by Linda Winchell

If we could live life over,
Just for one more time.
Would we make it any different?
Those lifes lessons we've now refined?

I think that life teaches us, if only given once,
That you have to work at perfecting it,
That's my thoughts, just a hunch.

If we could live life over,
Would the world be better off?
Would there be less pain and wars waged?
Or would it repeat greeds same of cost?

If God had intended man do it over,
Again, just one more time.
Then the price His Son paid at Calvary,
Would be the Bibles, History now faded lines.

Would Jesus do it all again for us?
To hang upon a cross?
Would He want to give again that sacrafice,
For all the world souls, and lost?

He did it right the first time,
And that's what He wants from you.
So you need not a second chance at life,
This one will have to do.
