Closed doors, opening windows,

Finding ways to deal with it all.

Paths no longer traveled,

Changes in routes,

rearranging.

Changes in attitude, day to day,

Priorities all flip-flopped around.

Day planners no longer full,

Changes in calendars,

replanning.

Looking for new possibilities,

Finding new ways to do it all.

Paths now traveled slowly,

Life’s living changed,

redefining.

Still wondering why all had to change,

Wondering why new ways

Could not be tried.

Never to know what’s gone,

rethinking

Still not willing to turn away,

To give a new chance away

To not be even tried

Never to have one more chance,

remembering.
