THE WILLINGNESS TO CHANGE

When I was young and free,

And my imagination has 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 a las

They would have none of it

And now as I lay on my deathbed

I suddenly realize

If I had only changed my self first

Then by example I might 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 change the world.

(An Anglican Bishop, 1100 AD, as written in the Crypts of Westminster Abbey)
