Change

Forces its way to take part in my life
Makes its demands and cuts like a knife

Alters the lives of the people I love
Enslaves me more than the heavens above.

Takes its time and thinks not of others
Strong enough to destroy a bond between brothers.

Uses illusions to reel in its victims
Leaves them astonished and unaware of the symptoms.

Nothing can stop its immortal lies and
No one can challenge its overheard cries.

But all in all,
Sacrifices must be made
Debts and bills must be paid
Change must be faced without regret
But in my life, change i will never let.
If it breaks my pain and misery,
...then change in my life will set me free.

Smile ~ "Yes," change! Life is everflowing is it not!? Yet, what we choose to hold onto; where our eyes do see tomorrow; how do we get there &, what can we do? If we have not a rock & a foundation of hope then, within my own view, all when said & done seems to be but, a fluttering amid the wind for, in the blink of an eye, everything is suddenly, gone ~ I try to take hold of Eternity &, grasp it very very tightly for ~ ....Cont:)
