My Perception

Some people look and say:

"Technology is phenomenol."

"When I was your age we didn't have the ability to see that!"

But when I look and see:

I drop my jaw in awe of God.

I walk outside and take in the sunlight in a state of wonder.

I look at my wife in a new glow and walk in life.

My head is filled with thoughts and prayers and wonder and questions and some doubt.

When I look, I.....
