TOURIST'S EYES ( MY CITY)

TOURIST'S EYES ( MY CITY)

To see my city through a tourist's eyes
Must be full of wonder and great surprise
The things I take for granted almost everyday
The tourist uses his map to show him the way

The castle, the cathedral and old cobbled street
The tourists converge there to chat and to eat
Pictures are taken to remind them of my city
When they get home they will say it is pretty

Why then should anyone destroy this beautiful place ?
Graffiti and violence are a utter disgrace
Just stop and see your city through a tourist's eyes
You will be full of wonder and have a great surprise

What a great piece of poetic advice KIERAN!!......when one changes their perspective on how they see a thing daily.......it changes a part of them that eventually manifests itself in many different ways....,,.

I like the way you left the city unidentified, making the point accessible to everyone.
very good

I have lived in many places in the world and what always struck a chord with me was the pride most people have for their home town..even the children know the history of their city/town/village. I wish we were actively encouraged to take a civic pride in our towns then maybe there would be less defacement  and neglect..A great piece  Kieran and very relevant!

You are my light when all around me is dark
Nobody else comes close or hits the mark
You...
