ITS ALL IN HOW YOU LOOK AT IT

your sweetheart packs on 30 pounds

are they obese

or is there simply more of them to love



you stub your toe

you whine about your pain

or thank your lucky stars, happy it isnt broke



ok ok you lose your job

get wrinkles from worry

or see the new horizons opening up



grey hair running a muck

cry at the reflection, wishing for yesterday

or hold your head high, enjoying the autumn of your life



scorned lover

never love again.....forever alone

or take lessons learned and love like never before


Author's Notes/Comments: 

there is always 2 sides to every coin...I take off my rose colored glasses and I have trouble always seeing the happier side.....but then again feelings come from the heart and when allowed to flow freely they will stay true to thy self

Very upbeat, very warm reminder that their are many good things out there. Sometimes we do need to look both ways at things that happen in our life. Nice job
