Bending like a flower
Bending like a bow
But it’s the bending on and on
That endures the lows
Musical notes flutter around
Heart beats fluid and strong
But it’s the consistent beat
That keeps a common bond
Who I was years ago and
Who I am now and today
Thinks about that person
Who was and is just different
In light, in airy, in heavy ways
I still stand taller
I can laugh harder
My dreams are fewer
And I still carry on sharper
