change pt 2

A friend shared this poem with me after a recent post.

I have resisted change with all  my will

Cried out to life – pass by and leave me still

But I have found as I have trudged times tracks

That all my wishing will not hold life back

All finite things must go their finite way

I cannot bid the merest moment “stay”

So – finding that I cannot change “Change”

I have changed – and this is strange

 For I have found when I have let change come

The very change that I was fleeing from

Has often held the good that I had prayed for

And I was not the less for change – but more

 When I accepted Change and was not loath

I found change was the seed of growth.

 

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
