Change – Poem

My colleague was walking to work and passed by a poetry noticeboard where people can put up their poetry. It can be found where Chepstow road meets Portobello road. She took a photo of a poem on her Blackberry for me and I thought it would be a great poem to share – especially as we are nearing the new year. Enjoy!

We change our lives

And change our minds

We change our feelings

And change the times.

A change can be

A short term thing,

Or a change can be forever.

I don’t think there’s anything

Wrong in changing,

To try and be somebody better.

But I think with change

Comes a lot of blame.

A lot of courage,

But a lot of pain.

Afraid to be someone

Who’s always the same.

Boring, plain,

Predictable, mundane.

I think a change is a push

To help you move on.

Whether it’s what you want

Or life’s gone wrong.

Coz change is what keeps us going

To strive for something more.

We spend a lifetime asking questions

That we have no answers for.

A change can be a make or break,

A risk to take, or a big mistake!

But who cares anyway?

If the change wasn’t what you saw,

The beauty of change is that

You can change back-

To the Life you had before – Chang
