God throws us curve-balls He gives us
these unexpected, sharp turns
they are meant to slow us down
or speed us up with warning signs
along the way, it’s our chance
to re-examine life; an opportunity
to rearrange a few things, if we yield
we’ll reap the rewards and if we refuse
we’ll suffer the consequences of doing
things our closed-minded ways
—we have an option for transformation.
