A Welcome Change (published on Sunday 27th 2011Hitavada’s Insight’s Expressions)
Life’s most struggles are over,
Having watched the fount of fiery life,
The golden years have gone
But even though silvery years are shining
It’s a feeling of autumnal grace.
No lamenting no worrying
only feeling a bit changed,
Change for better not for worse,
Everything changes for good,
Don’t think to say me good bye early
Oh! I’m old now or at least I feel I’m old.
But I don’t feel decrepit.
I don’t feel like losing any hold on life.
I like being old.
I have the happiness that I have spent my youth cheerfully
Without much fever or fret,
Full of activities; no regret
I have heard death is the end of life
The end of all the strife
But I have also heard end is the new beginning
And beginning is always fresh and serene
Lovely and charming, a welcome change.
