Point of View

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) Of (blank),” replace the blanks with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.   

I thought I knew what I thought I knew

Until Someone changed my point of view

Then, from where I stood I understood

How shamefully often I misunderstood you

Our points of view mirror the hues

That help to shape our points of view

Sometimes God moves us from our perch

To view life from angles we never knew

Someday earthy points of view will dim

Farewell to this shell of wish and whim

Then, from where we stand we’ll understand

How shamefully often we misunderstood Him
