Words Change

Words change with time, age, experience
A teen's "when" by thirty-five is "if"
by forty is "maybe"
by fifty "perhaps"
by seventy "whenever"

Words change as dreams
Become reality or dashed by reality,
The heart from red and "pumped" to black-and-blue

Words change as dreams
As plans are revised by reality
Edited by the hand
the will
the providence of God

Words change, but never The Word
Who being unchangeable
Is Rock
Is Refuge
Is Shelter
Is Reality
