Can you look beyond the shallow? <br />To find a deeper meaning which is true. <br />Can you look beyond the shadows? <br />To find a philosophy for you <br />Can you find hope in times of madness? <br />to bring you through your despair <br />can you find strength and guidance <br />in the books over there <br />can you find faith <br />in actions good works and deeds done <br />can you find solace when the game is lost and not won <br />can keep both eyes open <br />when others with prejudice are opposed <br />can you find meaning where there seems to be none or it is supposed <br />, then my friend you’ll never lose and the battle will be half won. <br />For how we perceive and what we believe <br />Makes us whole <br />a heart that looks beyond the shallow <br />will find what it looks for it will find its goal.<br /><br />Daniel Hooks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/can-you-look-beyond-the-shallow/
