Look at a raincloud there may be rain, <br />But closer behind there is sunshine again. <br />Look at a butterfly its beauty so fair, <br />And look what it was before it took to the air. <br />Look at a flower and see a new fruit, <br />Look closer and you'll see the real truth. <br />Look at the tree leaves brown, yellow and green, <br />It's nothing without its root though unseen. <br />Look at a face that is smiling with charm, <br />Then look deep inside for the heart that is warm. <br />As sure as the sun rises in the east, <br />Time waits not for man nor beast. <br />So get in the saddle put your will to the test, <br />All you can ask of yourself is the best. <br />Look closer at life and things will be clear, <br />The challenge you make! Will be won if you dare.<br /><br />John A. Williams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/look-closer/
