Rolling With the Punches

ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES

one true constant in life we all
know too well is 
change

just when you love that your days form
patterns, things grow
strange

circumstances change in split seconds
accidently they
rearrange

we have to roll with the punches
adjust , accept and
sustain 

go with the flow, try not to control
God has a plan to
maintain 

a bend in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn © Kim van Breda—April 2014
