Life is Gorgeous

Mardi Gras Parade, Sydney.

Life is gorgeous
Life is sweet
Easier said than done
True

Pink glasses help for sure
So true
But it takes more than that
To see the beauty of life
It takes courage, strength and determination
To look for pink glasses

So many believe they are impossible to find
So many believe it is inappropriate to wear
Or God forbid, be like pink glasses
So…
Many never look for them

It’s sad, so sad
To observe those
Unaware that pink exists
That pink is
A gorgeous colour

I must admit
At times I lost sight of pink
For I was
Like many
Conditioned to see only gray

But then
Just as I was about
To surrender to the grayest of grays
Something gorgeously pink
Awakened me
