Perspective

Its a matter of perspective
All in your point of view
Just don’t sweat the small stuff
And, stuff won’t get to you,
Its all in how we look at things
That will decide what each day brings
The limits of our vision scope
A presumptive part of wish and hope,
Our attitude, our turn of mind
Do we look ahead, or look behind
The horizon of our line of sight
Is it a must, or maybe might,
Our stand, our slant, our very stance
The reference frame by which we chance
The panoramic angle that we play
The idiosyncrasies of our day,
Opinion, notion, bias, bent
As others scan the message sent
The overall impression that we make
Reflects “perspective” that we take!
