A New Lens

Look at this world,

Through someone else's eyes—

A shift in perspective,

And you'll see different hues arise.

The colors of life,

They’ll seem so much more alive,

The picture of this world,

Will be something you’ve never known to thrive.

The meaning of happiness,

Will change before your eyes,

The reasons for sorrow,

Will be redefined in new skies.

Things that once held no weight,

Will suddenly feel so deep,

A connection with the simplest thought,

A bond you long to keep.

We wear our glasses,

Thinking they’ll clear the haze,

But in truth, we don’t realize,

It’s our vision that needs to change.

We think our view will shift

If the lens is just right,

But the world stays the same,

It’s our hearts that need new light.

The glasses may clear the blur,

But it's the lens of the soul that’s key,

Change the way you look at life,

And the world will set you free.

For when you change your way of seeing,

Everything that was once confined,

Opens up to endless beauty,

And a different world you’ll find.

So shift the way you view the world,

Let your heart be your guide,

And suddenly, the universe

Will feel like an endless tide.
