Peter Dome Poet Verse

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.
