Rummaging through my file folders I found this poem composed by me a long time ago “The old order changeth yielding place to new”, It could be so fast affecting me and you. None of us are ready for facing such a plight. We just talk about it and take it so light. Those at the top may suddenly topple down, Slowly getting ready to lay down the crown. It’s not an easy thought to simply forego, What was their domain not so long ago When all this happens some help them bear it all Yet there are others that revel in their fall. Not realizing, soon will be their turn When will they ever life's lesson learn. Keep your eyes open and notice the change. Those things that happen within your range. Be equipped to cope and face it all. It could be your turn to one day fall.

All my poems have a title save this one. I gave a title now after reading your post and it is 'Watch Out' Can you think of any other? This poem could have been an unfinished one and just saved.
