CHANGES

*** A NOTE FROM THE POET; BEFORE I POST THIS WEEK'S FIRST OF TWO POEMS, I'M ASKING MY JEWISH BOTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE READING THIS, THAT AS WE APPROACH YOM KIPPUR DURING THE 10 DAYS OF AWE, TO PLEASE ALSO READ THE TWO POEMS BELOW THEM THAT I POSTED LAST WEEK PRIOR TO ROSH HASHANA. MAY THE LORD SHOW YOU HIS FAVOR.

CHANGES


Life’s changes can bring many things
They could be good or could be bad
They affect people in different ways
Making them happy or sometimes sad

If these changes are good things
They show up in the joy it brings
But if they’re bad don’t get depressed
For God is in charge of all these things

And when things happen good or bad
God is showing you it’s for the best
The good brings instant happiness
The bad will put you through a test

Don’t let the situation get the best of you
Press on from the valley to the top of the hill
God will bring you the joy you are seeking
Because no matter what He loves you still

Regardless of what the outcome is
Get on your knees and give God praise
He brought you to it and will get you through it
Because God knows you are faithful in all ways
