Changes by Dee Ann E. L. Horvath

Changes are no longer my best circumstance
Instead of looking forward to a new adventure and a new chance
I now meet it head on with great fear and resistance
Age has taken away the want of surprise with a dreaded response

Part of me mourns it and the other part applauds it
I don't like the lack of control over outcomes and I resent it
I realize transition can be good and it is not the culprit
It is I who am apprehensive and afraid to commit

For now it is wearisome for my mind to rearrange
I like things dependable and don't want change
However I can no longer think in the short range
For life is knocking on my door and I can no longer be estranged

Life is a gamble full of many upward and downward climbs
No longer can I afford the luxury of being stagnant in time
I must forge a new path to make my new life mine
For not to ride life out would be horrendous and without rhyme
