Pollyanna Eyes Poem by Jim Yerman

No matter what happened in her life...
no matter how tragic or sad.

She would look long...and she would look hard...
to find a reason...to be glad.

She was filled with optimism.
She never doled out blame.

She did not see our differences...
but treated everyone the same.

She showed the somber people of her town
How love beautifies...

Oh, how I wish more people could see the world...
through Pollyanna eyes.
