i used to think
the sky was gray
but it was really blue

i used to think
i loved someone
but it was really you

i used to think
that life was sad
but now it's not so bad

i used to think
i was born to lose
it's all in what we choose

I have lived long enough to understand that we progress or digress in our ways of thinking and feeling as the years pile upon up. We have a different mindset every twenty years give or take a few years of our lives. This poem sorta brought that out to me again. Thanks . . .
