Through The Window
back
Through the window of life I watch the world,
Through simple eyes I acknowledge society.
Though my analysis is based on a mere sliver of our earth,
Though I have been humbled by my own experiences,

This much I know.

I know of the suffering of millions,
Oppression, injustice, starvation and hatred.
Through my window I have seen terror,
through my eyes I have witnessed pain.

However, that is not all I know.

I know of the true utmost beauty of life.
Happiness, fulfillment, pride and love.
Through my window I have seen not only deaths, but births.
Through my humble eyes I have seen strangers
taking the worst moments and making them special.

Although my analysis is based on a mere sliver of our earth,
And although I have been humbled by my own experiences,
I have learned that every circumstance has an underlying richness.
Every aspect of our surroundings has in it vibrancy and grace.

That is what I know. And now you do too.
