This is a poem a friend of mine posted on facebook and I really liked it and wanted to share it :)

Once I came upon a place
Of grief and misery
I saw a man, alone and cold
... And found that he was me.
I look back now,
At that wretched place
And laugh and sometimes cry
Because the man I used to be,
He deserved to die.
But now I have this new-found hope,
This joy
This peace
This love.
I feel my new life's warm embrace
From the Lord Himself, above.
I didn't deserve a second chance,
Or a third or fourth of fifth.
But He loves me so much
And I know that I was missed.
