It all depends on how we look at things, and not on how things are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it. ~Carl Jung

Kylie wakes up
with a smile
on her face.
I put the shade up
and see a gray,
rainy day.
“It’s so yucky
out there,”
I say to her.
She replies,
“I think
it’s beautiful.”
So, I take
another look
through the diamonds
on the window.
The clouds
are a down comforter,
jonquil spears
are drinking
thirstily,
and the grass
has turned
green.
Yes, my smart
Kylie girl,
it is beautiful.

I like the reflective nature of the lines in the latter stanzas...great poem.
How true! A lovely piece - turnaround and take-a-look...
Well chosen. There's so much to see in the everyday things.
Most of the days, we miss the obvious. Only a child can show the beauty..
Yes, life is always a matter of perspective :-)
A poem with a great perspective. Enjoyed that.
I am away from my family now on work, and can't agree more with the quote and am glad you have Kylie :)
Yeah, nicely, the jonquil spears, sound painful! What are they?
