You see the dreaded caterpillar
A violet’s enemy devourer
I see the ensuing butterfly
Whose proboscis sipped the nectar dry
The first has vision incomplete
The second has a view that’s sweet
The first’s concern is losing money
The second looks forward to the honey
I have a grapevine overgrown
Over the fence and tree it’s flown
“Cut-it-down!” you say; I say “Please save”
For kids it makes a perfect cave
You have a vision of loss and bother
And my eyes vision sees another
There really is no wrong or right
It all depends on the seer’s sight

- Comment from author about the poem: The poem pretty much explains the message...everybody's outlook in life is different. Each may be correct in their own right. We should try and understand all people's ideas and reactions, and learn to live together in harmony with that.

More than one given an angle to one given seen.
Great message!
Good comment. I remember someone saying that sometimes we have our eyes open but we don't see. I guess it's the same as our ears being open but we don't hear.
