Changes

So tell me what you want to be

And what you think you need of me

For what you do

You will become

As habit makes it part of one

 

For habits grind and clearly shape

Rough edges smoothed,

some dreams may break

Then, from time to time

There’s someone who

Will melt or break a part of you

So once again your shape does change

Though it may feel you’re just the same

 

It may take another, looking on

To see the shape that you’ve become

So maybe that should be my role?

Some sort of yardstick of your soul?

But then again, I will change too

So perhaps we’d better muddle through

And focus on the spark inside

The flame that undiminished shines

 

And if, as said, that change is certain

It will never be the final curtain

So embrace the change in me and you

And love the flame that shines on through
