Change Should Always Be Hard Earned
When change is hard earned,
We know hard lessons have been learned,
And we are less likely to get burned,
By the kind of change we have earned,
When we forget that time served,
In giving minds time to be changed,
For or against the change that is proposed,
Lest the winds of change cannot be tamed,
To blow in a different direction than first planned,
As the seeds for change that we wish to be planted,
Don't always come from hearts and minds, opened,
Enough, to see that some seeds are not fit to be planted,
And to the wind should be scattered,
So, dreams that mattered,
Are given a chance to be implemented,
Before they are shattered.
