I Change the Way I See

Little sparks of dazzling light
Float across my vision
And change the way I see the might
Of every little image.

Now to live, love and learn
Are all important factions
But I need to know when to turn
My knowledge into actions.

I copy the ways of my teachers
For they are the ones who know
I don’t need to watch in the bleachers
I need to get up and go.

My elders are those with whom I feel safe
A warm haven free of fear
Their thoughts and mine are not ones to chafe
But they guide me far, far from here.
