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