VIEWPOINTS

 
Do we all see life
from different viewpoints?
 
Do we ever talk to each other
about what and how we see?
 
How would a grandmother in a rocker
see her  grandchild with a big dark dog?
 
How does a person in a wheelchair
see the world as she rolls by?
 
How does the kid who couldn’t make the
team feel at a Friday night football game?
 
What does a dad feel when he buys his son
and all his friends ice cream on the way home
from the game?
 
What does a mother-in-law feel when she
sees her son cheating on her daughter-in-law?
 
What do their kids feel when they find out their
mom and dad – now in their seventies – go  out
for a walk every evening holding hands.
 
Do we all see life
from different viewpoints?
 
Do we ever talk to each other
about how we see and how we feel?
