FIRST…WITHIN
Beneath the sky, where stars ignite,
In nature's realm, we find our light,
To change the world, a daunting quest,
But first, the change within our chest.

The mountains stand, so strong and high,
Yet rivers carve them, by and by,
In nature's dance, we see the truth,
Change starts within, forsooth.

The roaring storm, the tranquil breeze,
In contrast, nature finds its ease,
To change the world's relentless tide,
Within ourselves, we must decide.

The ancient trees, with roots so deep,
In stillness, their secrets keep,
To change the world, we must be wise,
Start with the self, let no disguise.

In every leaf, in every stone,
The world's reflection, deeply shown,
To change the world, we must rehearse,
The change begins within our universe.

So heed this call, with humility and care, oh youth so bright,
To change the world, embrace the light,
In nature's grace, the lesson's clear,
Change yourself, and then draw near.
