When
I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,
I dreamed of changing the world.
As
I grew older and 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, those closest
to me,
but alas, they would have none of it.
And
now as I lie on my death bed, I suddenly realize;
If only I had changed myself first,
then by example I would have 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 changed the world.
