Just one word

Life's too short to just sit and wait
you never know when it might end

love your friends, your family, and even your pets
because you never know when you'll lose them

people take things for granted
they don't know how good they have it

I know this word that has changed my life
I never thought it would

this word has helped me through thick and thin
it helps me when I'm blue

this word is highly affective
this word I say is perspective

I know a saying my dad told me
I've known it for most of my life

this phrase is the key
to stop defeat-

I felt sorry for myself because I had no shoes
until I met a man who had no feet

-perspective is what the world should know
it should be our motto

whatever shall happen just always know
there is someone worse off than you
