One Chance

Jun 25th, 2026

To my Wife 

As I sit in my car,

Contemplating the LORD and his WORD

I think about how magnificently he made you

How blind I was to the truth

And yet, completely in possession of it at the same time 

I could write about your skin

Your laugh 

Your eyes

I could tell so many stories just about rubbing your back

I wish I knew if you really enjoyed that or not

I want one chance

One chance to Love the real you with the real me

I want one chance to be who the LORD destined us to be.

I want one chance to be the husband your wife

For now, this is my life’s mission

And I succeed or I die trying

I did not understand how precious you are. To HIM

TO ME

TO ALL of us.

I thought too small

Too small of us both

I don’t have regret

I have the desire for one chance

One chance to get it right

And I will pray,

I will pray everyday 

And I will die trying.

Amen
