Point Of View

"I will bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

Psalm 34:1

Stream In Autumn Woods

I've heard it said it all depends

Upon your point of view,

The happiness you get from life

And how things look to you,

And the longer that I'm living,

I've really come to see

That this is just as true a fact

As anything could be.

If you always look for sorrow,

Then you'll have it seven-fold;

If you go in search of rainbows,

You will find a pot of gold.

If you have no time for dreaming,

The days are dark and gray

But with a little bit of hope

Your troubles slip away.

Don't waste your time in sighing

When the world is full of song;

Don't live among the shadows,

This is not where you belong.

Lift your face and feel the sunlight,

Smell the flowers in the wood,

And be grateful you are living,

And know that God is good!
