These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Time Change

About the time we settle in
to what our life is like,
we change the clock. Begin again,
and try our minds to psych.

So many years before, it seems
a warming trend in Spring
has followed the change to newer teams
of morning clocks, that ring.

It's darker now when most get up,
but later for the set
of sun beyond our evening sup,
before we go to bed.

But does Time really change, my friend?
The sun in smirking tones
doth look upon these souls, who tend
the clock. He chuckles, groans.

Each body simply feels the mess
of Time Zones leaping forward.
Please, help us, Father, survive the test,
remembering Who's Lord.
