Second Chances

I am so happy
As i used to shed a tear
For my dear daughter
As she would disappear

She used to make me cry
As the police would pick her up
Drunk from the park
Late at night and in the dark

My work would suffer
As i ended up in tears
Always worried
And living in fear

Now she is an inspiration
The daughter that i love
She is at college
Studying and in love

She has a wonderful boyfriend
We all do adore
He treats her like a queen
Although sometimes
She can be a bit mean

soaps

I never miss an episode
Of any of the soaps
When i work the night
I record it in delight

I know what is happening
Each and everyday
It seems like real life
mostly it is full
Of trouble and strife

People are either dying
Or being killed
Or cheating on one another
Or giving birth to a child

It can be very dramatic
and exciting as well
I like to think it is wild
But can be happy as well

Sometimes it can be loving
Romantic as well
Although not often
As you can probaly tell
