Adapting
Her adaptable temperament
Welcomes surprises
Seeking not to resist
What God authorizes.
She flexes and bends
In transition and change
But the times of routine
Let her catch breath again.
The last decades on earth
Bring life’s biggest challenge
As she loosens the grip
On what is taken for granted.
Change is uncomfortable,
Inconvenient, disturbing
But its presence can prompt
such growing and learning.
So today she adjusts
And embraces the time
To give praise to her Maker
The glorious divine.
