True Sight

Now who is this person me?

Do I see life through rose glass?

Or maybe through blackened brass?

A realist ill ever be.

That is how ill alway see.

Do I still see good in life?

Why yes I do my young sir.

But dont let that cause a stir.

I can see the good in strife.

even when on edge of knife.

One does not need rosey sight.

There is always good and bad.

And a choice of which to add.

Even when darkness does bite

There will always be a light.

Now the rose may be too much.

All in all moderation.

That's where you need to station.

Not too much hope do you clutch.

Or despair or any such.

That is what it means to see.

Always see the full picture.

Light and dark, perfect picture.

Do not live all life in glee.

Or at the first sight do flee.

A little rose never hurt.
