We sometimes say we need a change, <br />As a change is good as a rest <br />But often fail to ponder <br />If change is for the best. <br /> <br />When we feel change will do the trick <br />And it’s time for a change, <br />Do we really stop to think <br />And have a frank exchange? <br /> <br />For “change, for change’s sake” can mean <br />That, as our rooms have faded, <br />When we change the wallpaper, <br />The furniture looks jaded. <br /> <br />And if we change too many things <br />In way, or shape, or form <br />Then constant need to change occurs <br />And change becomes the norm. <br /> <br />And change becomes our mentor <br />As change succeeds each change <br />And every changeless constant <br />That stays unchanged seems strange. <br /> <br />And so, if you’re sore tempted <br />To spawn unneeded change, <br />Just change your mind and see that you <br />Don’t change it, for a change.<br /><br />C Richard Miles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/changes-53/
