Averse to Change

The pictures on my walls have not
Been changed for many years.
I’m stuck with what I have
Or that’s the way that it appears.

My furniture is old as well;
Things rarely get replaced.
I like the way it looks because
It’s all done to my taste.

My husband wants to chuck it all,
To spiff and modernize,
But I can’t see the end result
That’s there before his eyes.

It’s hard for us to compromise
For I’m averse to change
So upgrades don’t excite me
Which, to many, must sound strange.

I wish that I could bend a bit
And be a little bold
By bringing in a few new things
To mingle with the old.
