The things in the world that you can change <br />Are image and looks or even your name. <br />Time and location are both yours to use <br />If you choose wisely, you'll never lose. <br />Don't give much credit to the gossip you hear <br />'Cause stories get better with each passing ear. <br />Even things you see aren't always as they seem <br />There'd be no illusion if the magician had no dream. <br />And you can't decide what other people think <br />Even if you could, it would drive you to drink. <br />The one thing in life on which you can depend <br />If you like yourself, you'll always have a friend.<br /><br />Joe Danner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/illusions-8/
