CHANGES?
Sometimes we can seen change coming, sometimes it seems to sneak up on us, but it does come, has come, will come, and what is important to remember is "Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday, today, forever," and take your strength from and refuge in Him.
CHANGES?
Struggling with changes,
Both real and possible,
Thought rearranges
Life as known and able
To be perhaps
Scratches maps
Yearns for naps
Trembles sleepless
Putting off the must do
Fearful
Tearful
Endearful
Fitful
Afraid
Of friendships unmade
Of apologies unheard
Anticipated:
"You don't mind, do you?"
To which one must politedly reply,
"Of course not" feeling "why?"

Change is inevitable
As sea breaks rock
As seasons fold into each other
As rainbow follows rain
Yet One there is who does not change
Who orders the sea to strike the rock
The air to hold the hawk
The rainbow to appear
The One who is ever near
The One who is the Rock
In Whom refuge is sure
As is change around
As is change to
As struggles cease and calm enfolds
While in the Rock peace will me hold
To that Rock I come most bold
And needy
Confident not in my feeble sinful self
But in Him who so loved
Who reigns and lives above
And in my very heart and soul
The One who makes me whole
