I Still See Beauty

I still see beauty in the world despite its ugliness. I still see love in the world despite the hatred. I still see hope in the world despite the despair. I still awake in the morning and breathe fresh air. I still walk on a beach and feel the wind in my hair. I still marvel at the ocean and its tidal symmetry, yet I still weep at the sadness of today's society...... Its selfish materialism and lack of care........ Its hatred and murder, and its unwillingness to share....... yet I still see beauty in the world: it shines with the sun, I still see beauty when wild horses run. I see hope fading, packing up to go. Fed up of waiting, oh stay hope, stay. Just one more day? Don't go away, For I'll still see beauty in the world come what may.
