Wisdom ~

The time has come for the winds of change

They come and they go

Every week, every day, every hour, every moment

We feel them brush past us as they flow

They bring with them a chain reaction

Evolution, separation, and alteration

For nothing in this world lasts forever

Not even the fondest affection

The winds of change make us laugh, make us cry

We weep until our tears run dry

A child leaves the home he has always known

And walks far and far away

Not even glancing back on the way

The scared child is pushed out into the world

He wishes for the lap in which he once curled

The loving touch of his mother’s hand

The warm feeling of a friendship band

Hearts are broken, and young lovers die

When the freezing winds of change fly

But the child knows no one in this new world

In which he is harshly hurled

Go make some money, go get a job

Don’t you dare fail, don’t you ever even sob

He is no longer a child, deeply loved

But a shadow of a man in this cut throat world

He makes a choice, he stops his own heart

The winds of change have torn him apart.
