Time's up!
Just a second late
Lifelong dreams
Crash. Runner's last dash.
Just a minute late
Lovers wait
Helpless at bus stops...
Another hour late
Weather gods
Rejoice: "Flight Delay!"
Another day late
More fines paid
By hook or crook, books!
Another week late
Nervousness
Becomes motherhood
Another month late
The landlord
Has waited enough.
Just a quarter late
Shareholders'
Patience has run out.
A slow year later
Nothing much
Has changed in his life.
Another decade
Filled with Years,
Months, Weeks, maybe Days.
(But no Second chances)

wow, like it, but not so sure about no second chances. I think there are. Most people have second chances
Interesting set of examples. Sometimes second chances are the best blessings though :-)
There are second, third, fourth... chances. You can be optimistic sometimes :)
Whoa! Looks like I'm up against all you optimists! Relax - I was aiming for a sad pun "second" as in time...
Though I must say, sometimes my second chances have turned out to be the best options...
Thanks for your comments people!
