Change Is Like the Wind

Change is like the wind. 

You can't stop it from blowing 

Sometimes, it could take you away.

When the wind begins, it's a slow, gentle push. Your hair lifts from your face. It feels refreshing.

Just like a new job that you're excited to start, ready to face the challenges.

Then the wind picks up just a little, like when you start riding a bicycle and your parents lets go.

You wobble for a while, then you ride like a bird that has been let out of its cage. 

Then the wind dies down, you're at peace, you're calm. Life is good.

Year by year, the wind gets stronger, then quiets down. 

You hold on when it blows too hard and let go when it dies down with a sigh of relief.

Always in the back of your mind, you know one day the wind will get stronger.

What will happen when the wind picks up? Will I be picked up and taken away?

Will I fight the gusts that blow and blow and try to take me down?

Change is like the wind, you never know when it will blow you way.
