                                                                    CHANGES
Changes in my life,from the grey in my hair to the wrinkle above my brow. today i was thinking theres so many changes now. from the streets where once laid gravel to the fields where the wild would roam, heavy is my heart to know that away is taken their home. I saw a child playing within a guarded fence, a mother watching closely her expressions very tense. all due to many changes not as safe as it use to be. this is all within my heart so truly sad to me. Out in front of a building stands a man whoms dripping wet, he reaches down into the trash to see what he can get, cause changes came he lost his job, his home his children his love. He now lays his head on a cardboard box and sends his prayers above. you now must look to your neighbor with heart and soul be true, reach out your hand and tell them through all these changes , i'll be here for you...
