Changing Dreams
Considering the natural scheme of things
all that's constant in our lives;
is a thing called change,
thus the verb, rearrange;
having to learn emotional agility
sometimes can feel so strange.
~
Discussing order and direction, in our world
has a way of just confusing me;
but, time marches on,
helping me realize I had it wrong;
teaching me to adjust things, as life lets me down
I should've listened all along.
~
So with the way dreams disappoint
my expectations seemed to disappear,
as well they should
things didn't turn out the way I thought they would;
I can't explain things in any other way
I really did the best I could.
~
And so, my point of reference is
the only constant that is in my life,
is what I share with you
because, no matter what fate has to put me through;
I'm flexible enough to make it to the journey's end,
because at least one of my dreams did end up, true.
