While patience sits in the kindest hearts

Deeper feelings flower

If left unaltered vengeances blooms

For time inevitably alters

So watch your heart and gird your loins

For children need strict raising

If needs come first, then needs outweigh

And children don’t need praising

Keep them close, don’t spoil the flower

If time has taught us naught,

‘Tis that we must the rod employ

Or pain will soon be wrought

Alteration

Alteration

If alteration alters

What is left behind?

Is it something new?

What is there to find?

There is something in the changing

Something to be said

Never left to notice

What happens in your head

Tomorrow’s troubles find you

No matter how you hide

If you tell the truth as oft’ as able

You never regret having lied
