As I Look

As I look through these old eyes I try to not see the world that cries I try to see the good that surrounds The wonderfulness that unites and bounds As I look through these old eyes I see only brilliant blue skies I see people helping each other People helping those who may not be their brother As I look on this land I see the beauty that is so grand From valleys, to mountains, to seas The magnificence of it fills my eyes to please As I look I see a world that is full of anger and dismay I get down on my knees to God and pray I realize that it’s not God who made the world full of hate It is our own bias that we create As you look at the world through your eyes Look at this world and there may be a surprise For there is goodness in mankind Look in your heart for love of one another, truly goodness you will find
