Everywhere I look
I see the Universe at play
In the beauty that surrounds me
As I go about my day

Everywhere I look
I see real blessings in disguise
Life lessons; opportunities
Laid right before my eyes

Everywhere I look
I see friends that truly care
People that in trying times
I can count on to be there

Everywhere I look
I see lost faith reborn as hope
A simple shift in thinking
That makes life easier to cope

Everywhere I look
I see an opportunity to grow
From seeming disappointments
That people at me like to throw

Everywhere I look
I see ways to help others out
People that are struggling;
Their faith slightly cast in doubt

Everywhere I look
I see broken promises made anew
Pieced back together again
With conviction to see them through

Every where I look
I see true loving perfection
It starts with a desire within
Called mindful inner reflection

Everywhere I look
I see hope around the globe
Diminishing and then removing
Negativity's well worn robe

Everywhere I look
I see people just like me
Who want to make a difference;
For all the world to see

Everywhere I look
I see a bright new future unfold
Not predicted by the prophets
For this story's not yet told

Everywhere I look
I see the seeds of spirit grow
Their planted by me and others
Help us tend and watch them grow!

Blessed Be!
