I’ve gained a new lease on life 
I’ve learned to be serene
My magnifying glass doesn’t magnify
I’m focusing on the good things!
Inversely proportional to my projections
My serenity sinks lower
when my expectations are higher
When I focus on the negative
The worse things seem to be
I turn my attention to the positive
Centered on the humanity I see
Not the answers nor the problems
I try never to solve them
I can’t change the way you feel
I can modify the way I now feel
I am learning to love my family
My codependents have been ill
What would a god’s eye see?
Inversely proportional to my projections
My serenity sinks lower
when my expectations are higher
My level of emotional sobriety is the key
Keeping my expectations right sized
I must do what is in front of me
Keeping my expectations right sized
I’m thankful for a hot cup of tea
and this old magnifying glass
