when I was young & free,
my imagination had no limits,
I dreamed of changing the world,
As I grow older & wiser
I discover the world would not change,
So I shortened my sight,
Somewhat I decided to change my only country.
But it too,
Somewhat immovable,
As I grew into my twilight year,
In one desperate attempt,
I settled for changing only my family,
Those closest to me.
But alas,
They have would none of it,
And now as I lie on my death bed,
I suddenly realize,
If only I had change myself first.
Then by example,
I would have change my family,
From their inspiration & encouragement,
I would have been able to better my country,
And who knows,
I may have even change the world.
