WHAT DO YOU SEE?
So much I see
in the world around
me
There's the good, the bad
the happy and sad
Cruelty, pain and
travesty
Anger, injustice, hypocrisy
But I choose to truly see and place my energy
On Him and the love of my friends and family
And on joy
and peace and loyalty
So many in this world are gentle
and humble and kind
The thoughtful and
caring are not hard to find
There's the vibrancy of
youth and the wisdom of old
Always a hug to be given and
a hand to hold
Death precedes a
new baby’s cry
The circle of life
- as vast as the sky
And there’s song
and music and books to take pleasure
Culture, art and
dance for good measure
There’s the splendor
of nature and all He has made
Majestic trees which provide much needed shade
The song of a bird
as it glides through the air
The feel of a
breeze as it rustles your hair
Fields of green and skies of blue
Flowers abounding
in colors of all hue
Waves of the ocean
and a tide coming through
The sun, the rain,
and a rainbow too
Mountains and snow
and sand between your feet
And the joy of foods
that we’re blessed to eat
The list goes on
of all that is GREAT
To focus on
these will ensure your fate
In Life, it's who you are and what you choose to truly see
Where in lies the
key to enjoying this rich life He created for you and for me
