Transformation makes life interesting.
Every thing we do ends in a transformation.
There are notable, remembered transformations.
Other transformations seem to pass us by.
When I learned to walk.
When I learned to talk.
When I rode my very first bicycle.
When I learned French.
When I first fell in love.
Driving my first car.
Paying off that loan.
Buying My first home.
All of these were important transformations.
These things are now just memories.
The big things in life are more than that.
Writing meaningful poetry totally transformed me.
Learning calculus and electronics absolutely set my future direction.
Growing up, then growing older, then sickness, then poor health
were my greatest, most severe transformations.
Transformations make life interesting.

So True!
You hit the nail right on the head! Very acurately stated! Getting older was/is a rough one for me as is beating the big "C". But with each transformation we have the opportunity to grow! Nice change of pace here!

WOW
I never looked at life that way, but you are right, transformations make you who you are no matter what they were or what they will be. I loved reading this. Great piece of educational poetry. (writing poetry has transformed me too) Great read sir.

So true, my friend...I can relate!
What a moving write,pr. I really like this as it is from your heart..and where your values lie..And it helps to get to know you. Not long and drawn out, but to the point, optimistic yet realistic.I do think it is God that helps us cope through lifes changes if we let him. (Of course that is my opinion). Wonderful write here!

So true what you say here
We are always children learning new things every minute of our lives . We direct our own destination by our faith and the need to learn more . At times as we age we find ourselves needing yet unable to follow through yet we learn to transform ourselves within the moment and move forward indeed for the need to live is overpowering to us forever and a day
