Response Poem to The Blessing of Change

I created responsive poem to John Herlihy's The Blessing of Change

Saturday, April 26, 2025

 --Change is Only Way to Move Forward--



God's Cycles of Change
are constants as His Truth

We change as we grow
Learning Change is good

Learning new things
deciding whether we like or not

Rejecting change that limits or hurts
Still, gaining a new awareness of need


Change is what brings advancement
into the world and our lives

Change guides us as we falter 
Yet provides understanding and knowledge

Change allows us to reach out
to another, to learn of differences

Yet secure, that differences are but change
that we haven't met before...


But change wrought by choices
to affect lives negatively

Is not natural, nor necessary 
even in a world of constant change

There is no mystery when man chooses
 change that does not bring forward thinking

Where is the equator of events of change
which determines good change or bad


Change which brings chaos is
not really change at all

For certainly it over-shadows God's cycles
in which We can peacefully live

Destructive Change isn't a blessing
And only Man creates such changes
