I wrote this sitting in my garden on a grey, foggy autumn morning when I realised that the beauty of the scenery was in the eye of the beholder.

'Perspectives' Some people can stroll down the street on a miserable day and only see the smiles on people�s faces Others trudge along, only seeing the grey concrete moving beneath their feet Do they notice the nod and smile from the old man on the corner? Or is he invisible because he is only beautiful on the inside? Some might see the morning fog as a shroud of grey that settles in their soul and stays with them even when the sun breaks through to warm their skin Others see the fog as a beautiful mist that opens up to reveal the brightness of life and a reason to feel good about the outside�on the inside. � Annette Hansen 2005

This poem inspires. Having worked at a nursing home, I understand the beauty to be offered at any age. I wish everyone did. Love the ending on this piece! Hugs,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...what one esteems to be trivial and insignificant another can find and open a whole new world. Lovely poem and so true...enjoyed.
Blessings,

So many reasons why this can happen. Physical ailments, mental illness, low blood sugar, spiritual deception, differing personality types, bouts with gas, love askew, etc. Like snowflakes, we all seem the same from a distance, but up close we are all so very different. I especially liked the line: "the morning fog as a shroud of grey that settles in their soul" Very Nice! I felt this line like dew in my soul! Regards Richard

It is all a matter of perspective and what we do to respond to what is before us; indeed this has a lot of wisdom, Annette. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you,

Wonderful write, Annette. You are so right about this. We all have different perspectives in looking at the same thing, as we are all unique.

Only Inside

'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'- certainly true as I wrote this while my partner was away on a business trip. Our first time apart since we met.

Two people, different places, see the same through the eyes of new and old

Stardust

This deals with a sensitive topic, but I hope it speaks for the many silent victims

For anyone who has ever needed a friend.

Take My Hand

Basically, this poem is about ''what goes around, comes around'' and that you reap what you sow
