Some things are momentary
Some things last
What's in your present or future
May not have been in your past.
Some friendships are for a time in your
life
Some friendships last
The friends in your present
May not be the friends in your future or
past.
Some jobs and hobbies you do for a while
Some jobs and hobbies are forever
The jobs and hobbies that currently occupy
you
May not have been in your past endeavors.
Chance brings us things
That may not have been there before
We increase our chances of new things
Every new thing we decide to explore.
Some ideas we take from our parents
Some ideas we take from what we learn, who
we meet, and where we roam
Don't be surprised if the ideas in your
present or past
Are not the ideas FUTURE YOU will
cheerfully or happily own.
When it comes to heroes, and what you worship
Some figures and beliefs, will for a time enchant
All it takes is an incident, or new learning or growing
And then suddenly you wake up, as if from a trance.
This is the way of life and its changes
The water is continuously churning
Bubbles are being burst constantly
And new ways of thinking, living, being,
and learning keep emerging.
There will be new ways of talking, acting,
dressing
New ways of singing, loving, eating,
communicating, and so on
We have to decide whether to adapt to the
times
Or to resist reality, and run the risk of
feeling isolated, bitter, and forlorn.
Nothing can be predicted
We can't tell what will last or continue to be validated
Many of the ideas and concepts we think are
as solid as rock
Could fall by the wayside, and become
discredited or outdated.
Yes, some things are momentary
And some things last
Remember, what's in your present or future
May not have been in your past.
