Poem: A Meaningful Adage

Share this article:

We tend to want to see each day a certain way;
Certainly not, in any way, a shade of Grey.
Most always, though, that greyness shall be preconceived;
What you expect to see, easy enough believed.
The trouble is, that preconception drags you down,
So you will start your average day there with a frown.
What makes it worse is when the night before you had
The kind of evening which will always make you glad.
There is a lesson to be learned there, without fail;
A self-explanatory snippet one can hail:
It states directly this truism—“When you change
The way you look at things, the things you look at change!
