A New Pair of Glasses
Reflecting back on all the times we felt, that life had done us wrong,
The daily struggles, the missing pieces, the days they felt so long.
Without the hope inside sometimes, that life could ever change,
Until one day, the lightening hit, we felt its stinging pain.
Alone we were and full of fear, we sat and sometimes cried.
Until we were willing, to let someone in and put aside our pride.
“It’s an inside job, but let it all out", we once heard someone say.
It’s up to you to make the choice, so start anew today!
The daily decision to change our thoughts and all our actions too,
Is not an easy task, but we’ll find our bonding glue.
Not sure exactly where we’re headed, we just swiftly plod away.
Remembering who we want to become, lies in our choices today.
If life gets rough, just phone a friend, or take a walk outside.
Breathe in fresh air and think good thoughts, and put your cares aside.
Just one foot forward is all it takes to get to where He’s calling!
The path is outlined for us as we go, He’ll catch you when you’re falling.
Tears may come from time to time, and that’s ok, you know.
For in our quest for what’s to come, they’ll be sure to help you grow.
No pain, no gain we hear, but here’s the best news yet……
We’re promised a life we’d never dreamed that alone we would never get!
With the laughter we’ll share, and the friends we will meet, our fears will melt away.
Our gratitude for the new life we’re living will shine with each new day.
A simple change in attitude will help throughout the years.
Life will become like a new pair of glasses,
We’ll see laughter through the tears!
