It used to be so easy <br />And then something changed <br />All you took for granted <br />Is suddenly rearranged <br /> <br />It’s not the way you planned it <br />Not in your wildest dreams <br />Cruel it is this universe <br />Or sometimes does it seem <br /> <br />You’ve gained a little insight <br />Despite a sense of loss <br />It’s not unlike a ball <br />That at times you want to toss <br /> <br />There is no one way to view it <br />It all comes down to choice <br />To reach within your being <br />And find again your voice<br /><br />Robert Longley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/finding-your-voice/
