Changes

Change surrounds us… it Lies within us too…
The trees in the front yard have changed… They’ve grown taLLer…
Their Leaves die and scatter on the ground in the faLL…
Like trees,, we’ve grown up…
As babies,, we couLdn’t waLk…
But we Learned to run,, ride bikes and go out to movies and parties…

Some changes we don’t notice whiLe they’re going on…
The snow meLts…
The birds fLy south…
Our hair grows a LittLe everyday…

Other changes startLe us…
A best friend moves away…
A favourite grandparent dies…
A Love starts to fade away…

These changes we,, at Least I,, wish hadn’t happened…
And I have to remember that change is as naturaL as breathing…
I can’t keep it from happening,, but I can trust that change never means to harm us…
