I Took Off My Rose Coloured Glasses

I took off my rose coloured glasses some years past
The first real person I met was me, the vision does last

I stripped my version of the perfect me
What I saw was kindness, empathy and thought for others.. maybe

The world I live in is full of suffering and pain
But the world I live is an adventure of gain

I filtered out all my seeking of pleasure
For all the people I do dearly love and my do I treasure

What could I do to raise my game?
I concluded to be around and care without laying blame

I keep my rose coloured glasses locked away
Because I want to help in truth, in spirit, always and everyday

Life can be cruel, the imprint will remain
My reward.. to try and help, such an honourable gain

I believe each day is just so 'brand new'
It allows a blank page to start a fresh with you
