From Where You Stand

FROM WHERE YOU STAND

If from where you stand, the trees aren’t lush and green

Step forward as you must to paint a different scene

Knowing it’s all relative will always help you find

Gifts of grace and gratitude, gifts of peace of mind

If from where you stand, you fear you won’t get through

Step backward as you must to gain a different view

Knowing it’s all relative will always help you find

Blessings all around you, thanks of many kind

If from where you stand the sky looks dark and gray

Step sideways as you must until it clears away

Knowing it’s all relative will always help you find

Perspective that’s been lost, misplaced or left behind
