SECOND CHANCES

I found a golf ball
beneath some pine trees,
long lost, long forgotten,
from some game,
a long time ago.

Titleist - Number 1.
Pockmarked,
scarred and wrinkled.
I cleaned you off
for one more game.

Déjà vu! Oh no!
Once more, you hear
the dreaded word, “Fore!”

Once more, you're lost!

Will you be found again? Life….
