Battery charging


Battery charging
by Joseph

I wish my life could be
recharged like a battery
Because every now and then
I get so run down
I want to attend the
New Life Church...

Give me a second chance,
a third chance, a fourth
Don't let me fade away
like a battery that's old
and grey and corroded...

Let me charge a spark,
Let me power something up,
Let me make something
happen,
Let me be good to go...

And start up again.
