Change

Change,
The cry of a newborn,
The first snowflake on your nose in December,
Listening to a different radio station.
Change,
Leading your team to victory for the first time,
Forgiving someone you hate,
Tasting something new.
Change,
Making the Youth Council in your town,
Watching a horror movie instead of a chic flick,
Playing the piano in seminary.
Change,
Finally getting those braces off,
Getting a bonus at work,
Winning the Geography Bee.
Change,
Watching your youngest go off to college,
Your father losing his job,
Your first day at a new school.
Change,
Learning you were never good enough,
Going through a divorce,
Being diagnosed with a disease.
Change,
Growing apart from your friends,
Having your favorite show cancelled,
Not achieving your dreams.
Change,
Moving to a new state,
Failing a class,
The death of your companion in life.
Change,
Can be good or bad,
Big or little,
Surprising or planned.
Change is.... inevitable

Change can also be a a few pennies, 3 quarters and a nickel, or several dollars. It just depends on how much stuff costs and what denomination you pay with.

Did you have to write a poem for school or did you do it for yourself? I admire many poets but am not one myself. Good job!
