Ever, Never and Always

Ever and never are two terrible words

there are times we have to eat them

as the twists and turns of life

take us places we hadn't known existed.

They can be used to describe that

something hasn't happened yet.

We can see where we've been before,

but we don't know what the future holds.

Where it will take us and how we will get there

we are blind to, they are a mystery to us.

How many have said that they would never love again

only to find someone who

would renew their love.

How many have said that their love would never change

only to find that their love was infatuation,

lasting only for a short season.

I will always

I will never

It's forever

These words are a danger to us

when we let pride get in the way.

We've used them

We were wrong

We must move on

Life shouldn't be ruined

by words spoken in haste

with no understanding

of the joy we could waste.

There are times in our lives

we must plot a new course

and move to new pastures

without a hint of remorse.

For life with its twists

and its turns we will grow

as we flow with the changes

a new person we'll know.

But don't be afraid

it will be for the best

don't let those absolutes hinder

is my simple request.
