Our Eyes Only Tell Us

If you wish to see ugliness this is all you will see This is how it is and how it always will be And those who wish to see beauty have beauty in their eyes We see what we want to see this i realize Suppose we all have our views on reality And we all look at life in ways quite differently Nature lovers see great beauty in a flowering bush or tree But the land developer with their sort could never agree Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as the wise one does say The old bloke thinks his aged wife is beautiful though she is showing time's decay And evidently she has known of a far better day But obviously he does not see it this way Our eyes only tell us what we wish them to see In my humble opinion this is how it seems to be.
