Perspective Poem by Ted Middleton

Perspective

Rating: 4.5


Perspective

In life we fail to estimate
The limits of our worth
And cannot see our value
Is so little on this earth

Who of us who has ever been
Could bear to be no more
Who in the end goes willingly
To pass through mortals door

Our being is a gift bestowed
Passed on from those before
Life is but a fleeting glimpse
And then it is no more

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Perspective was supposed to arouse feelings of respect and
appreciation for the loop of life and our place on this planet.
It willdo just that for those capable of appreciation...
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
David Mclansky 25 December 2012

But we leave a legacy To those of us, our heirs, Who worship us as heroes, Till we're whittled down by caresl And then they do their little part To advance the species cause And we improve so gradually Despite our many flaws
