Perspective
In a perfect world, skies would always be blue
The sun would always be shining, flowers always in bloom
No problems to concern us, no worries to bring us down
No noises to distract us, only songs and pleasant sounds
No pounds added from eating chocolate
Or lack of sleep to cause fatigue
Just sweet fellowship with those we love
And a wonderful life to lead
This world does not exist except in dreams and times of wonder
The real world comes with challenges, a vigorous fight and sometimes thunder
So we must choose our steps, our goals, our dreams
To not become lost as we live out every hour we have with purpose
One thing must remain a conscious thought as we forge our way forward
It’s vital to our sense of joy, excitement, and determination
Mistakes do not define us as each day we can begin anew
Until we realize the good days where things went well far outweigh the bad
Just as in this lyric, where each phrase was not a perfect rhyme
The meter is not very consistent, maybe not even existent
But the message it contains rings true if you’ll only listen
Don’t let a bad yesterday make today unworth the living
