Different This Time

Is it different this time? 										
It must be with all the changes by me.
The results come and go, 										
but nothing really meets the test.
Implementing all these new strategies,									 
must bring out the best.

Is it different this time?										 
It must be with all the changes by me.
It seems the final outcome										 
will have the same failing grade.
The hope for new resolutions 										
always seems to fade.

Is it different this time?										 
It must be with all the changes by me.
Then for just a wink of an eye,										
reality shows up 											
and reveals the true game.
For just that instant 											
all comes clear, 										
nothing is different 											
but all the same.											

The wink is gone 											
and all is well again.							
It is different this time! 										
Thank heavens for Thee!
Now its back to this hard work									
that has been such a success for me.
