Constant
Life will change.
No matter whom you voted for.
Or whether or not they won.
Life will change.
The sky will darken early. Snow will fall.
Even the tallest trees will turn to dust.
Life will change.
No matter what the test results,
Or whether they make those job cuts.
Life will change.
Your friend will become distant and ghost your calls.
Maybe for no reason at all.
And sometimes change will hurt.
But you know without me even writing this.
You know the next line, don’t you?
The one thing that will never change?
The love. The kindness.
The opportunity we always have to choose the mercy path.
The steadfast peace that comes with one who is and was…
And evermore will be.
World without end.
Amen.
