Clouds come and go, feet rise and fall,
like they always have, like they always will.

Tides ebb and flow, birds wheel and call,
like they always have, like they always will.

Rivers run their course, trains arrive and leave,
stores open and close, trees grow and grieve.

Words think they know a heartfelt squall,
like they always have, like the whale knows krill.

Skies clear or snow, shoes see it all,
like they always have, like they always will.
