Metamorphosis

The way we view the world

changes.

The weather changes.

Times change.

Plans get rearranged.

The way we look:

the way we think

changes.

We change our shoes. We change

our old ways. We experience

new days

as the past dissipates.

New memories are made,

but they don’t replace what

already occupies our head space.

Things will never be the same

except for our photo

inside the picture frame.

There will be new rules

enforced in the same game.

Feelings change. Attitudes change.

What won’t change is my everlasting

love for those who make the world

a better place.

Through all the pain, joy, and changes,

we grew our wings

and jumped from the nest

into the unknown.

Tomorrow is

never promised.

Today was

a gift and yesterday will be missed.

In the end, change is inevitable

but don’t change the person you are

if possible.
