Axis

The world, on axis, spins and spins
As life, then too, does twirl
We’re always in a state of flux
Upon this changing world
No, nothing remains constant
As we’d like so to believe
So we must keep up with the change
And not be so deceived
We must address each day, eyes open
Be willing to then learn
That life, the ever changing work of God
Has rewards, of which we earn
So, work real hard to gain the prize
Sit not still and hope for best
But rather, use your talents to
Share and feel then blessed
The world that goes on spinning by
Will spin, but so will you
If keeping with the speed of things
You’ll do great at what you do
