Changing Times

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one stays the same
Young become the old &
Mysteries do unfold
That’s the way of time
Nothing & no goes unchanged
There are not many things in life you can be sure of
Except
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly
Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Cuz everything will change
Young become the old &
Mysteries do unfold
That’s the way of time
Nothing & no goes unchanged
There are not many things in life you can be sure of
Except
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
Hummingbirds do fly
Everything must Change
Nothing stays the same
Rain &
Sun &
Hummingbirds
Expect the rain &
The sun &
Music makes me cry
Oleta Adams – Everything Must Change

This song makes me cry. It reminds me that friends will be lost and lovers will fade away. It reminds me that what I hold as vital now… may be nothing to me next year. It reminds me that my life is short…and precious… and fragile & that anything I do is only fleeting . It tells me that one day I will be a mother…a grandmother… a dead woman. It tells me that no matter how bad things are...they can only get better…or get worse. It tells me that as I breathe & as I live & as I love & as I grow & as I die I will be changing and reshaping myself into something better & more perfect. It tells me that sometimes…to hold on I have to let go.

Stay Jazzed
