The gifts of change

The colors of the leaves, now represent change Like a mirror to my life, as things rearrange There is no way to know what is coming my way even with any planning, I may do day to day But colors can show change can be a beautiful thing As when multiple things go wrong, leading to an upward swing I have found the unexpected to be both daunting and great Time presents the gifts when I am willing to wait Change for the worst can lead to change for the best Fighting to survive can lead to peaceful times of rest I see these colors around me, as I embrace the moment When I'm still for these minutes, I don't wonder where time went Heidi Sands 10/5/24 (C)opyright

Wow, such beautifully philosophical and heartfelt piece this is, dear Heidi. I can relate with this on so many levels as I myself have found my heart crashing with the waves of anxiety when led to surf through change. But, slowly ~ I've been enlightened to the fact that we can't actually prepare for anything, what's bound to happen will happen and especially, going with the flow will bring peace to us, as what may unfold still remains a surprise. I truly loved reading this! Sending best wishes ~
