Change

Change to some it's just a word.
To others it's something that must be heard.
Change can bring the homeless a home.
Change can make an absent parent 
Become a good one.
Change can mend  broken hearts
Change can turn your life around
To many change is an up hill battle
For those who are scared of complete failure.
Change is the one that gave criminals a new start
Alcoholics a sober breath ...
A beaten women a safe night...
A scared child a soft embrace....
Change has saved my life given back all my strenght
to live a life full of change.
Now my life is full discoverys that are new .

Much to think about in this timely poem. It encompasses so many social problems that the world is dealing with. You may want to change strenght to strength and discoverys to discoveries. Best wishes with your writing. Karen
