changeless

Everyday I am changing.
I am not the same person I was
    every seemingly insignificant second
      added to my life
Another layer is laid
    on top of another which is
      on top of another
        and yet another
I am constantly evolving and changing
Even when I try to hold on to the 'old' me
Even if I try my darnest best to be still
The tiny act of trying to hold on
    and trying to stop a millisecond
      from happening just isn't happening
Even the seemingly insignificant milli (micro?) second
    is stronger than my best efforts to stop change
There is 'something' better,
    Someone bigger and stronger than I
Who has set all these.... in motion
    and there is no stopping....
The law has been laid
    the parameters set
and no matter what I do
I cannot stop change--
the funny thing about all these:
the Author of change does not change
    He will not change
the Author of time is timeless
    He will not shift
    He stays
While everything else shifts and changes
    and grows old
    or grows weary
    or grows weak
    or grows fat
    or gets sick
    or gets bored
    or gets thin
    or dies
You can tack your life to His
You can put your trust in Him
Because He is
   and will forevermore be Him.
