A Wider Prospect

If we could own the power of flight

From lofty heights our greater sight

Would surely teach us to step back

And realise we little lack

 

‘Cause when we view from up on high

Soaring in the vaulted sky

We then, if we would only think

How mighty problems surely shrink

 

For every issue viewed up close

Fear in our heart is oft imposed

Reduced in scale, seen from afar

No longer will our peace be marred

 

Watching the birds soaring high

Let’s not simply give a sigh

But rather let our minds take wing

And thus our hearts will also sing
