The waxing moon

Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today. 

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  1. This is our ever changing world ~~ one minute good, the next minute bad. What was lovely today will be gone tomorrow. Nothing on this planet remains constant. It is always waxing and waning, ebbing and flowing.

  3. Life is change, it is true; and if we can learn to bend, then by God's grace, we shall not break. Thank you both for writing, and may God bless you.
