Notes About The Poem

Much of our focus can me on ourselves and our surroundings.  I have to remind myself to look up and beyound.  Live and love generously.

David 

Eyes

Searching my heart
	I see . . .  
		Humiliation . . . Despair

The world around me
	I see . . . 
		Degradation . . . Death

Eyes up
	I see
		Redemption . . . Love

This is so true. What we dwell upon we receive more of. Gratefulness begets more gratefulness as with love and happiness. I love your positive words. Have a great week! xoxo : )
