Rose-Colored Glasses

 

 

 

I live, I love, and I feel.

And I cry at times,

as I get the wind knocked out of me

for choosing not to read the writing on the wall.

I guess you can't fix all the broken people,

who won't help themselves.

I tell myself I will learn from my mistakes,

as I take a deep breath,

let it go and move on

A little wiser,

But not yet jaded.

I just put on my rose-colored glasses,

that enables me to only see the good in people,

and forget the bad......

Then I dance around my living room,

hands moving through the air,

twirling round and round.

Singing out loud the lyrics

to the song running through my mind....

It is not long before it all feels good again.

I pause to think about all the wonderful people

 that are in my life.......

Then I smile as I give thanks to the man above........

As I live, as I feel, as I love..,

As I sing…. as I dance.... as I laugh....

I really enjoyed reading this. It projects wisdom from nearly every verse and a view more people should have on society. Wonderful positive piece about staying true to who you are and what you believe no matter what is happening around you. Great work.

Amen to that... Thats the way my mom always tried to see thing and thats the way I wan to try and always be.. its hard sometimes to see the best in everyone but I try... a poetic piece with some great messages.
