Mental Shift

What do we desire or want in our hearts

True love, respect or maybe a new start

 A little satisfaction but what does that mean

When the gift we posses to our eyes are unseen

When we only focus on what we think we lack

 or that a lil extra something 

will get our lives on track

It makes happiness seem so very far

But what if we appreciated are lives for the miracles that they are

If we stopped lusting and just worked, earnest and free

Maybe then we could see the lush forest beyond the trees

Maybe then we would see our lives as a gift

and realize that all we really need is a mental shift
