PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Observed:

Two people at a city park…in relative obscurity…

One man frowning, pacing to and fro…

the other sat smiling in the shade of an old oak tree.

It was a beautiful day. 

The sun was shining.

There’s was breeze blowing in from the sea…

But look how different the two appeared…

What could cause such a discrepancy?

Wanting to know the reason

I set aside my book

and maneuvered into position

to have a closer look.

The answer was quite simple

It seems both men were assessing…

One was adding up all his troubles…

while the other…counted blessings.
