GOD'S GIFTS'

My Eyes will Never See

Again except from Memory

The Sunrise in the Early Morn

A Baby's face when newly born

The seagulls Soaring above the sand

The White Caps Racing towards the land


The Magestic Mountains Rising High

Their Snow Capped Peaks Reaching toward the Sky

The Teardrops of Dew on the Mossy Grass

Like the Sparkle of a Crystal Glass


The Shades of Green on the Trees of Spring

And the Array of Colors the Autumn leaves bring

The Shimmering Diamonds of the new fallen Snow

Create a Blanket of White on the Earth here below


Like the Opal Colors in a Sunset Sky

Reminding us Evening in drawing nigh

The Faces of Family so dear to Me

I fear no longer will I See


But God has been good and I realize

Because I have seen these I can Visualize

And when I feel blue and very sad

I recall the many blessings I have had


And though my Vision is faded and gone

I Visualize these Wonders and still See the Dawn


Feel no sadness nor sorrow for Me

save Compassion for Sighted People

who never Pause to Look or to See ...
