The Impermanent Gift: How Change Creates a Richer Life

Harinder’s poem explores the impermanence of life and the importance of finding peace amidst change, exclusively for Different Truths.

"Change" is the only constant
Everything is transient, nothing is permanent
From the season of "Fall" to the season of "Spring"
The God of the Universe is having a fling
Every bird and beast is at his beck and call
He changes the seasons to tell us all
We need to appreciate all shades of life
And learn from Nature the lessons, right
Nature does not complain at the passing of spring
For the Universe, it is just another thing
So, live in gratitude in seasons all.
Stay blessed in "Spring" and " Fall"
Your stint on Earth is a great blessing 
The soul in a body is the best dressing
You need to attain that state of bliss
When you are not disturbed by that or this,
Only then will you become a Superior Being
And live forever in the "Everlasting Spring."
