Ready or Not
Change calls out to us:
“Ready or not
here I come!”
Wait!
I respond;
I am not ready.
But whether we are
ready or not
is actually of no concern
to her.
She was just stating a fact,
not asking a question.
Either way she is coming
and we must embrace
whatever she inevitably brings,
or know that we will be lost
in the new landscape
she has created
for us to live in.
I hope for the best,
but there is no way
of knowing what change
may think appropriate
for me to live with.
I do not want to be afraid.
I want to be brave;
but I am apprehensive.
I know I have no choice,
but I am not ready.
