Change What

Now spring will bring another time of change
As apprehension raises my eye brows
I welcome beauty to these days so strange
Though family values take an exit bow
The closeness that we cherished long ago
Has slowly faded like the winter days
While everything we use we now dispose
Including principles of moral ways
Technology replaced talks face to face
Divorce now grafts new branches to our trees
Adultery is viewed as commonplace
And vows to God and spouse we break with ease
I welcome beauty to these days so strange
But wonder what the next thing is we'll change

This poem is relevant and always will be because change won't change; our one consistent. I truly enjoyed this bittersweet write ...

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/19/2016 8:33:00 PM Politeness and being gracious is never old fashioned. Neither is keeping wedding vows, but the fast pace of technology has taken away so much. However, what is old becomes new again so we still have hope. I enjoyed this Daniel. Guess I am old fashioned too! ; ) Login to Reply Daniel Turner Date: 3/19/2016 9:12:00 PM One of my favorite sayings is,"things don't always change for the better". I guess the older I get, the more skeptical I get. Thank you, Connie for your VALUED comment:) Peace my dear friend:):)
