View From Rock Bottom

Location

The things one can see

When sitting at rock bottom

It’s truly quite amazing

What you’ve never dreamed of.

The view from down there

Is simply just sublime

All you have to do

Is stop and take the time.

Instead of looking up

At cliffs so strong with might,

Glance at what’s in front of you,

It’s a worthwhile sight.

While most look for an agitator

To blame for their great fall

They miss their elevator

And the writing on the wall.

But those who are wise

Will answer to the call

And lift up to the skies

Where they’ll finally feel tall.

So next time you are down on luck

And nothing is going right,

Remember that an opportunity

Is always in your sight.
