Changing lives

Change they say is constant
Change they say isย inevitable
Change they say is desirable

Change they say is necessary
Change they say is forward
Change they say is positive

Change I know is difficult
Change I know takes time
Change I know is not always possible

Change I know I did
Change I know I chose
Change I know I gave in

Situations change
Things change
People Change

Now, I am a lamp
I used to be a firefly…


Happy to write thisย withย Blog Fest 2012.ย 
Today’s photo prompt’ wasย hostedย byย Claudia

      Thanks Ghazala. It did move me too, in ways I did not expect it too ….

    Change is sometimes good and sometimes so undesirable and most times so difficult to bring about. Loved the last two lines!

    1. blogwatig avatar

      So true, Rachna. And yes, I think the last two lines summarizes our past and present, impeccably.
