Change of Life In An Instant

Instant Change of Life. Strange how life can change so quickly In the mere blink of an eye One moment you dwell in the dark cold gutter The next your flying joyfully through the sky And almost touch the sun Your bed a bed of roses instead Of a bed of nails Must when you think your life is over It’s only just begun Your ship of dreams washed upon the rocks And suddenly your sailing once more When you feel trapped you turn around To find an open door Live can be a blessing Or life can become a curse You may only appreciate what you've got Until it’s gone and you hurt One day you can be a King The next day Find yourself upon the street And instead of having lots of subjects By your side You have nothing on your feet Your health may suddenly Turn from good to bad Your face drop it’s smile and you look sad A letter may come unexpectedly With bad news out of the blue You meet up with someone you knew long ago And your friendship starts anew Life has many twists and turns Some of us get wiser Some of us never learn You can never guarantee anything in life And many obstacles may stand in your way Be mindful count your blessings Make the most of what you have And the most of everyday Only time will tell Change is inevitable And Without you The world still revolves And life goes on Over our destiny we may have little control But the way we deal with it Is what matters most But God through his undeserved kindness Gives us hope to cling onto With surety When this wicked world will soon be gone Our only hope for true happiness With joy and no more sadness Open your hearts to him Through his word appreciation for all things And supplication of prayer For God listens if your prayers are earnest And remember He cares.
