-- Always --

by John Herlihy

 

There’s no such thing as always

Not here on this earth at least

All things change, nothing stays

Life is, indeed, a movable feast

Perhaps change is a good thing

A burden if all stayed the same

Our faces frown, our faces sing

For that no one ever to blame

We do use always as a promise

A promise we always will keep

Between friends said as solace

If a promise broken, we weep

Universal love in love with love

The outpouring soul of the dove

Most things in this world change

Ever the same would be strange

The other world, eternal, always

We do not often get to read about your deeper philosophical side. It is also a subject hard to push thru the abstract meat grinder. You have managed to simplify and present it in an easy-to-read manner. Well done.
