Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Poet I do not know?

Courteous Change

Short-term hell
Long-term heaven
I cannot get even
With change ringing bells

I can live
With senses perked
Poised for change and its work
What's there to forgive?

We excel
We stay trying
Let humor seep on in
Good efforts will compel

Short-term hell
Long-term heaven
What's there to believe in?
Good change means us well

All life age
Time is kinder
We move from harsh to fair
Change is kin to stage.
