Change!

Winds of change are a blowin'.
Gentle breezes caress and refresh,
Ushering in
A new family member,
Retirement adventures,
A stronger marriage bond.
Change!

Winds of change are a blowin'
Howling gales,
Propelling one into life's storms,
Inflicting hurt and grief
In the midst of
A broken relationship,
A life-threatening illness,
A loved one's death,
Change!

Winds of change are a blowin'
Through the years,
Etching furrows on aging skin,
Eroding the body, but not the spirit.
Choose to let go;
These winds will carry you
To loftier heights of
Wisdom,
Faith,
And courage.
Change!
