Sometimes I wonder what it looks like through someone else’s eyes
To see the grass change colors while the seasons change.
To watch as the sun slowly drifts across the blue sky until it vanishes beneath the crest of the earth.
Or maybe even live in another world,a world in which life is not so fortunate,
a world where the eyes that I look through see pain more than love,
greed more than giving or even war over peace.
Sometimes these thoughts cross my mind and when they do I realize the truth.
The truth where I stand.
At my age, I’ve seen so many things, some good, some bad, some things that a young man should never have seen.
But I did and it hit me, I have been blessed.
