Looking Through The Glass

Emperor

Looking through the glass 

All the precious lost

Tears down the face

For all that it had cost

In search of all the joy

Now locked behind the glass

The more a man has got

The more he begins to ask

All the joy was there 

Just waiting to be found 

Had I not been looking behind me 

If only I turned around

    Such a great metaphor. We loose sight of our path by looking backwards into the past. We not only don't see the wonderful sights of our journey but may stumble over unseen opportunities or hazards that lie in our road. A great message.

    We spend to much of our time looking back and missing opportunities that are in front of us, nicely written and expressed, enjoyed the read
