On Changes

Irene Dunlap

Change is the only absolute

In the world,

The only thing

That you can depend on.

Nothing stays the same.

Tomorrow will come,

Bringing with it

New beginnings and sometimes

Unexpected endings.

You can hold on to the past

And get left in the dust;

Or, you can choose to

Jump on the ride of life

And live a new adventure

With perseverance

And an open mind.
