Rose Colored Spectacle

Is life a painstaking journey into night
or dawning of the day, sun shining bright?
The glass half empty, or the glass half full
A wool sweater, over the eyes to pull?

The glasses you choose, shades of black
or rose colored spectacles, kept intact
A royal flush, that is a mirage of mind
Or a winning hand with just one of a kind

I make my own history, which birth to death abides.
Each precious moment, a mystery, on life's train that it rides.
Rejoice in moments, which never come again,
They weave lifes fabric, one of a kind.
For life is unconditional, a joyous refrain,
Other judgments just mirages of the mind.

Actually wrote this in 2008. thought I'd post it again
to remind me of what really is important
