“You”
“When I was young & carefree, & my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world …
… As I grew older & wiser, I realized the world would not change…
…So I decided to shorten my sights somewhat, & change only my country. But it seemed immovable… KEEP
OUT
…As I entered my twilight years ,in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but alas they would have none of it…
…I lie on my death bed and realize (finally, for the first time) if only I’d changed myself first…
I may have bettered my country
Then by example I may have influenced my family & with their encouragement & support ….
…who knows I may have changed the world”
