Seeing Through Gray Colored Lens

About the Book

Seeing Through Gray Colored Lens is a collection of poems written by Joe Millard that describes how he sees the world from three views; the world within us, the world around us and the world we create. The world is a beautiful blend of colors that we share, but within us are shadows that tint our views. In our youth we often see the world as black and white with right and wrong answers. However, as questions go unanswered, the world becomes confusing and more interesting. New experiences expand our choices and the shades of black and white blend. Our lives change creating shades of gray in an ever-changing world.
