IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO FOCUS ON THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE PICTURE

 

IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO FOCUS ON THE BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE PICTURE

It is still possible to focus on

The beautiful part of the picture

And why shouldn’t it be

When that is what we were made for originally

All things attest

That He has blessed

Those who wish to mar and jar

To count up faults and 

And make it hard

In working hours and schoolroom drives

For us to catch one breath of air

I’m telling you

I do not care

God made the world for truth and good

You cannot alter the enchanted wood.

You cannot halt the fleeting snow

The crystal cup of the early rose

This I have known from a child.
