THE YEAR OF TRANSITION



The year of transition is here,
For better or worse it is finally here
Changes occur and you know they will occur
They are necessary, unstoppable, not wanted
Comfort zones are gone,
Loved ones come and go
It is hard to say goodbye,
But to me it is better to say see you later
I want the friends in my life to be happy
We begin to learn that life is God given
And He is sovereign
A new child will be brought into this world
A man becomes an adult; a family is proud
Someone will fall in love and there you have it
You find out who you are
Friendships will be strengthened and cold wars melted away
Endless love on a tennis court will be played
Someone will show compassion on another
Lonely soldiers will keep going on and living
The year of transition will end and another year of transition will begin
Changes are good
