"CHANGES"
SPRINGTIME'S COME AND EVERYTHING'S BRIGHT,THE TREES ARE LEAFY, THE BIRDS ARE IN SIGHT.
I GUESS MOTHER NATURE HAS TAKEN CONTROL,,
IT'S TIME FOR SPRING CLEANING,,,,,AND MANY WILL STROLL.
I WATCH AS THE NEIGHBORS WALK BY AS THEY WAVE,
ENJOYING THE WEATHER, THAT "JESUS", HAS GAVE!
I LOOK UP TOWARDS"HEAVEN", WHEN THE STARS SHINE AT NIGHT,
I THINK THEY ARE "ANGELS",IN TIME,,
WILL I MAKE THAT FIGHT?
I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY,, NO DRAMA AROUND,,
MAKE A TRIP TO THE CITY? AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND!
THE FEELING OF "PEACE",,,,,WHEN I PULL IN MY DRIVE,
A TRIP TO REALITY.......THANK "GOD" I'M ALIVE!
AT ONE TIME I WOULD SHUFFLE,,KEEP UP WITH THE BEST!
BUT MY BODY'S SO TIRED, I JUST WANT TO REST.
YOU SEE, I'M "DISABLED", FROM A FALL THAT I HAD,
SO, I MOVE SO MUCH SLOWER, AND SOME FOLKS I MAKE MAD.
AT HOME I WATCH FLOWERS, BLOOM OUT EVERYDAY,
LIKE FOLKS THEY SPREAD QUICKLY, BUT I COPE IN MY WAY.
LITTLE THINGS TOOK FOR GRANTED, LIFE'S TAKING SUCH PACE!
"FEEL" THE BREEZE BLOW THROUGH WINDOWS,
"FEEL" THE SUN ON MY FACE.
"WATCH" BUTTERFLIES FLUTTER, AS THEY REST ON THE PORCH,
DO YOU THINK THAT IT MATTERS?
TANNING BEDS THEY WILL SCORCH!
"THINGS" HAPPEN FOR REASONS, IT'S "GODS" WAKE UP CALL!
MAYBE "I" TOOK FOR GRANTED,,,,,MY "BLESSINGS" AND ALL!
NOW I "NOTICE" THE BEAUTY MOTHER NATURE CAN GIVE,
NOW I KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT "GOD'S COUNTRY" I LIVE!
CAN YOU TAKE JUST A DAY? CAN IT NOT BE ARRANGED?
EVEN "ANIMALS" TAKE NOTICE! WHEN EVERYTHING'S CHANGED.
THIS "LIFE" YOU'RE ABUSING, DO YOU NOT EVEN CARE?
"IT'S THE GIFT", THAT WAS GIVEN,
"HE" DECIDED TO SPARE!!!!!
