*We spend our time* *on so many useless things* *Watching others* *making mistakes* *Just so later we can* *talk them down* *We see beauty everywhere* *and never take the time* *to say* *Thank you Lord* *We concentrate on* *things that tomorrow* *won't mean a thing* *We allow others* *to tear us apart* *and destroy the good* *we carry in our hearts* *We fuss and fight* *each other by day* *and then lay with them at night* *We refuse to look around* *and see* *The beauty God placed inside* *and we're way to ready* *to throw our hands up in defeat* *I wonder what the world* *would be* *if we would* *but stop* *and see* *The beauty placed in* *a face* *a smile* *a child* *a rainbow* *a sunset* or *sunrise* *a birds call* *Wonder what secrete* *he might have to say* *if we could understand* *his twitter on any given day* *Might we not concentrate* *and try to make the world* *a better place* *Might we not try to love* *not just those that love us* *but all Gods people* *I think its time we concentrate* *and learn to look* *outside ourselves* *Open our eyes* *and really concentrate* *on Beauty* *everywhere* *�2003-2005 Tina Clark*

Tina, that really opens your eyes for what we take for granted everday. The loved one that we hurt or put down, the simple things that we don't enjoy. Take time to stop and smell the roses and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us that we pass by. As you say, "Concentrate", on the life that is around us all and that is inside us all. Beauty is only skin deep and should be held and nurtured and not be too readily just thrown away. So beautifully written and you could feel the need. Love, Ken.

If we would only stop and take the time to focus on the important things in this life and never let the ones we love and care about drift away and learn how to forgive then this world would be so much better...........

Tina,

Excellent thoughts here. We always seem to let beauty pass us by and fail to see it in every aspect of life. Very beautiful and well written poem.
