 The Winds of Change


 


Softly blow the winds of change


O’re the babe swaddled snuggly


Sleeping soundly now outside the womb


Where hours she slept protected


 


Joyfully blow the winds of change


O’re a small girl in pig tails on the grass


Spinning cart wheels hand over foot


Spontaneity and “happy” echoing in her laugh


 


Excitedly blow the winds of change


She giggles with friends over the cutest boy


And wonders in awe and confusion


That she has now become a woman


 


Contentedly blow the winds of change


Young Mother bustling day to day


School and work, and three squares a day


So much to do to keep family and home


 


Peacefully blow the winds of change


Her life in pictures adorn the walls


Wrapped in a blanket of memories clear


Her quiet smile soft as in her chair she sleeps

This is a beautiful way to look at life, Karen. The winds of change are always blowing. I am soon to be experiencing this very topic myself.

I'm saving this poem in my favorites. Thank you.
