All is Still ...

I hope some day you wake up

and the sun is shining and the birds are chirping

and years have past

but you still haven't changed.

I hope your heart is still big

and your smile warm and hands eager

and you've seen it all

but you still haven't changed.

I hope you never let go

and you still see the good, and put others first

and you know how hard things can get

but you still haven't changed.

I hope no anecdotes turn you bitter

and you know kindness is never wasted

and you know your own worth

but you still haven't changed.

I hope despite it all you still need me,

because I'll always love you as I do now,

and I hope when we wake up and yeas have past

we still haven't changed.
