Inspired by the song “Stay the Same” by Joey McIntyre

Stay the same –
Hold on to
Your character
Your integrity
Your faith
Your hopes
Your dreams

Be dear to
Your loved ones –
Parents
Siblings
Friends
Neighbours
Even your enemies

However, don’t remain static –
DO change
For improvement
For maturity
For knowledge
For experience
For growth in Christ

But watch out for
Change in the name of –
Love
Merits
Sacrifice
Advancement
Fulfillment

So, don’t be afraid to
Stay the same
As long as you
Be true to thyself
And don’t hesitate to change
To strive for
A better self in God’s eyes
