It’s no good sitting and wondering why Perhaps it’s enough to make you cry But the thought isn’t that strange Yes! There is much we would like to change
Most of us manage the best we can We follow rules and the follies of man But we are not in command Do we really have the right to demand?
No matter where there is a real need Underlying there will be some kind of greed Penny pinching just to save a buck Do we owe to life what we call just luck
In life there is always doubt At the flick of a switch it can be snuffed out At the thoughtless stroke of a pen It all happens again and again
For a single life, today what is it worth Is it because there are too many of us on this earth Have we lost the ability to share? For our neighbour do we no longer care
Has everything to be put down to cost In this is the future of man lost Can we save a heart ache or a single tear? Let’s get back to us what means so dear.
Time is the most precious thing we have, but we are the poorer if we can't spend a little time on a friend

Re:Deezee's Challenge: Change (repost) Date Posted:12-10-2020 12:33Copy HTML Nice one, Tony, so true.....en masse change is indeed difficult, but one step at a time gives freedom to the individual to at least try. There is a good lesson for all within, keep it simple, be true to you, all the world and its follies are just too much, you have used words of wisdom, Tony, but to change...one must know for what, Zy Opposites exist by virtue of each other

Re:Deezee's Challenge: Change (repost) Date Posted:12-10-2020 07:36Copy HTML Zy thanks for reading and commenting, to be honest I thought I had nothing about change in my files.
Just happened to come across this one tucked away, it's perhaps not quite what David suggested for the challenge, but still it's about change...Tony (potleek)
