It is the best of times... It is the worst of times...

I wished for a change.
I dreamt for a change.
I prayed for a change.
I got a change.
And now it's changing me...

So drastically too. Some were expected... Some were dreaded...
It is the worst of times... It is the best of times...
How more straightforward can it get?

Every morning and every night I'm full of hope...
And all the while, the dark days only become darker
Reality is hard to face
The harsh, cold winter only exacerbates things.
But there's the one Shining Light that pushes me on...
Encouraging and reminding me He's always there for me.
And He was... and will always be
