Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

I Reach For My Pen

The world is changing around me, so I may as well change too
Though in a positive way, with new things to learn that I can do
Search through my mind for new words I may have to say
I can move with the motion from what has come upon us today
For staying stuck will not work, as we find ways to survive
Grieving what’s lost and holding onto gratitude being alive
Life hands us the unexpected, sometimes it feels too fast
But, I slow down to one thing at a time, leave some in the past
Then there are things that remain, returning from nature, again
The comfort and replenishment for my soul, as I reach for my pen
