Personal Poetry Challenge Day Sixty,

Sick as a dog today.  I was feeling pretty miserable until I decided to change my brain.  Now my soul feels much better than my body.

Accepting Change

I know in fact that where I am,
Is where I’m meant to be.
But where I am is just for now,
I’m not the future me.

The only constant thing in life,
Is knowing it will charge.
No matter how we plot or plan,
Or try to rearrange.

We try to keep the things we love,
Be rid of all our woes.
But in our fickle universe,
That’s not oft’ how it goes.

Don’t take for granted those you love,
Assume they’re always there.
Ensure each day they know they’re loved,
Find ways to show you care.

I was alone so long before,
I met my love, my Lynn.
And so I know how rare this gift,
The awesome life I’m in.

So I give thanks for where I am,
Stay grounded in the now.
And marvel at the path I’ve climbed,
That led me here somehow.

Cheers, Winston
