In life you have to look carefully,
Forward, where the sun will shine,
Back, in memory for treasures to find,
the laughter, the cries, lessons of love,
Down, where humility calls us to care,
the dreams of others, the weight of being,
But also to look, sideways,
eyes open to different worlds,
And upwards, the sky, in fullness,
the breath of stars guiding us endlessly,
In life you have to look, it is an art,
five directions, a map in your walk,
