Perspective, a word that changes the way I

see

That things are bigger than what revolves around “me”

For it gives me a new set of lenses

Helping me to get to my senses

That there is more than sometimes meets the eye

We must choose to see a different view, we must try

Life is complex, people especially

Sometimes there is more than what we can at first see

May we choose eyes of compassion, a different sort of view

In all we say and all that we do

May we choose the lenses of love

Make others heard, valued and thought of

May we choose to see the bigger perspective

To have love our incentive

For God so lovingly put us first

Instead of seeing only the worst

May we too change the way we see

That it’s not always all about “me”

The way we see it

Philippians 2:3-5 NIV

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
