It Won’t Always Be Like This

Here is something to hold on to:

“It won’t always be like this.”

At your wedding-It won’t always be like this.

Laying a rose on marble-It won’t always be like this.

During minutes and hours of childbirth-It won’t always be like this.

Listening to children run around the house-It won’t always be like this.

In good times and in bad, a single phrase reminds me to cherish and also to endure.
