Analysis of Soft Eyes
The obstacles ahead of us
Can seem like tiny rocks
Or boulders that cause us to fuss
And be like stumbling blocks!
The water from a heavy rain
Collecting in a yard,
Will cause some people to complain
Because they dropped their guard.
They should have realized that there
Are more important things
To deal with and show they care
Instead of minor stuff life brings!
