Change - Exchange

~ Change - Exchange ~

in each moment of change some familiar is lost

sometimes our choice, yet more often not

as we adjust to each fall let us recall

that embedded in change, exchange abides

deeply tucked into loss, a gain resides

a hidden seed prepared to sprout

like a spark in the ashes ready to glow

may we know, be aware, prepare, take heart

find hope against that day of unsought change

be open - with time - to watch for, welcome and

unwrap the surprise present offered in

The Gift Exchange
