Key To Life Poem by Jim Yerman

I wonder as we live and breathe on this planet that revolves
if the key to life is a puzzle we're trying much too hard to solve?

We don't need computers…no algorithms need to be run…
for doesn't the Earth change daily on it's trip around the sun?

The rivers are constantly changing…as are the oceans and the seas…
changing every day…like the flowers and the trees.

The weather is never the same…the sky changes with every sight…
seasons come and go…daylight changes into night.

When I look at myself in the mirror hanging from our closet door…
I am a little older…than I was the day before…

So what is nature trying to tell us
by this continuous rearranging?
That, perhaps, the only constant to life,
is that it's always changing…

And if change is nature's way…and there's no way to replace it
Perhaps the key to life is not to fight the change…
the key is to embrace it.
