The Willingness To Change

When I Was young and free, And my imagination has no limits, I dreamed of changing the worlds. As I grew older adn wiser, I discovered the world would not change, So I shortened my sights somewhat And decided to change only my country. But it too seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years, In one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, Thoses closest to me, but alas, They would have none of it. And now as I lay on my deathbed, I suddenly realized: If I had only changed my self first, Then by example I might have my changed my family, From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, And who knows, I may have even change the world
