Bloom Where You Are Planted
When you are young, change comes almost daily,
It could be good, sometimes could be bad.
You will be molded, trip thru life gaily
You tried to do your best with what you had.
Then as an adult, change starts to slow down
With multiple jobs, and sometimes spouses.
You accept that life will sometimes turn ‘round,
With all it brings, the fear it arouses.
With advancing years leading to old age
The changes in life are thrust upon you.
As body parts slow, leaves you in a rage,
It’s unfortunate, nothing you can do.
So live your life, take nothing for granted,
Accept all change, and “Bloom where you’re planted.”
