One Chance

One Chance

A Poem by Nichole Cosgrove

Take my hand
I promise I won't let you fall
I'll help you stand to your highest strength
And be there on your weakest days
If I hurt you
I'll try to heal
If I wound you
I'll try to seal
Never will I mean harm
When in safety of my arms
Try, I will
To crack the shield
The one that blocks my vision field
Fight, tooth and nail, I will
To gain the love I know should prevail
Something stronger then we knew
Beats between us, great and true
One chance we've been given
To understand
One chance we've been given
To make it last
I want to take it
With both hands
Hold it gently
Make it grow and last
I know you're scared
I know you're afraid
To take the risk
To take the chance
To lose something important
So am I
But I can't go my whole life
Asking, 'what if?'
I know we can have something great
Just take the chance
Take the jump
let's see where it takes us
Too many things have I felt
To let you just walk away
I know you felt something to
That night we were together
It wasn't one sided
Let's take this chance
And learn something new
After all
One chance we've been given
To understand
One chance we've been given
To make it last
We can take it
With both our hands
Hold it gently
Nurture, watch it, help it grow and last
If I hurt you
I will help you heal
If I wound you
I will help it seal
Never will I mean you harm
In the safety of my arms
Take my hand
And take this chance
And I'll be there always
For you
For me
For us
And the safety in eachothers arms
