Hi this poem has now been published in
a copy of Eternal Portraits, thanks
for all the comments which helped me to
decide to enter it into the competition.
best wishes to you all Brian.
Look around you what do you see,
A world that is passing you bye,
Every day when you wake it’s the same,
You never will bother to try,
I’m astonished at what you not know,
Dumbfounded with that you believe,
Isn’t this world outstanding,
Open your eyes and you’ll see.
Get up in the morning stop yawning,
Embrace each day with new light,
Forget all the passed things behind you,
Each day brings a brand new start.
Relish in life that’s been given,
Behold all your dreams in your hand,
Give meaning to love that’s inside you,
Open your eyes look around.
