We will be having a series of blog postings that will be contributions from Treasures volunteers. The first in the series will be a poem from one of our volunteers about the range of emotions that new life experience create. I hope you enjoy this.
Change
Change is very frightening,
I don't know what to do,
It can also be exciting,
To try something new.
Why can't everything stay the same?
It would be more relaxing,
Maintaining the status quo,
Wouldn't be so taxing!
It is hard to embrace it,
When it scares me that much,
I guess I just have to face it,
And learn to buck up.
Maybe if I act really quiet,
It will forget me and pass me by,
I will lay low awhile,
Until all the change subsides.
Is all this really good for you?
Does it really make you grow?
How can you tell if it's helping you?
When the progress is so slow.
Change sure is a lot of work,
It's not a lot of laughs,
It's not easy to get used to,
And it's hard to stay on track.
Change is so unpredictable,
You can never tell what's what,
It can seem a bit elliptical,
Moving back and forth so much.
Others have survived it,
So it can't be all that bad,
I think I might try it,
Instead of wishing that I had.
