The seasons change
As the days start to wane,
Transforming from summer to fall.
From short-sleeved clothes
To long coats, long robes
Thick sweaters, and pants for all.
It leaves me wondering why
The days went by
Without a hint of change
Because it still feels the same
As those hot summer days,
And doesn’t that seem so strange?
I’m stuck in the past,
I want the fun times to last,
But every new day
Reminds me of change
And new times to come
While I want to stay young.
No, I don’t want to grow.
No, I don’t want to know
What the future beholds
For me.
Why can I not stay
In these carefree days
Where we can laugh and play for weeks?
I’m scared
I’m scared,
That I will not succeed,
And the worry of the future overcomes me.
Then, I take a deep breath,
And I admire the change
The beauty tells me
I shouldn’t be afraid.
I deal with change every day
And I can do it again today.
