Change
Look at yourself
Think in depth
The reflection you see
Is it really me?
Time has past
And nothing really lasts
Things move so fast
You're happy then your sad
Yesterday was a good day
The day before was okay
Now your thinking about today
And tomorrow has no say
Wow! How things can change
Even your last name
Maybe even glory and fame
Things can bring you to shame
Everyday is different than the next
There is always a new test
Sometimes you get no rest
But each day you give it your best
Sometimes you shallow away
Hide in your own space
Leaving no trace
Of why you are fading day by day
You may even be asked
Why you are being so drab
Like a funnel with a tab
Locked away in a chemistry lab
Is this a metamorphosis of some sort?
Or deep down, are you really hurt?
Can't find your way, so you revert
From extrovert to introvert
You may not know why
You seem to always cry
Tears streaming out of your eyes
Seem to be losing ties
Getting lost in yourself sometime
Trying to rewind the hands of time
But the clock won't rewind
Not even mine
And then...
You are happier than you've ever been
You've discovered a brand new friend
Who let's you know that there is no end
To the love they have for you and how they feel within
Your eyes glow
You are always on the go
You yearn for more and more
Everything is alright, this you know
Your life is moving along
Your heart is singing a brand new song
You just cannot find anything wrong
In this time and place is where you belong
Just a few months ago your life was in disarray
You couldn't find the right words to say
You didn't know what else would come your way
But you faithfully continued to pray
GOD blessed you in the blink of an eye
You sit back and think "my oh my"
The heavens have opened up the sky
And an abundant life is your prize
So you see, nothing ever stays the same
And sometimes there is no one to blame
But we all know the name
And we call it Change
