I pray and pray for Change

I rail against stagnation

And smallness

But the learning

Is often out of sight

And mostly uncomfortable,

I cannot learn what I cannot to see

So things break to get my attention

Not because the soul demands perfection

It’s just that we don’t change because we want to,

We change because we have to

Because it becomes too painful for the rosebud to stay closed

It’s heart and design is to flower and bloom and blossom

And I know that’s repetition But around the mountain

We sometimes have to go,

My soul wants the best for me

And I acknowledge

And pray for the parts of me that do not want to cooperate.
