I miss the eyes of innocence, before I knew what this world could do…
The eyes that saw everything wonderful, creative, new or gently used…
I stand amazed at the times I spend now sitting silently in an empty room…
The same eyes that lit up for freedom, now being the piercing canvases, saying nothing, yet singing the blues…
I DO!
She said in a room full of people…
What she saw, he saw, would change the heart of any Believer…
Tears welted up in the corner of these eyes…
I fiercely hurry them back inside, praying no one sees, because the eyes never lie…
Striving every day to protect the very nature of my soul…
Who cares about your worries? Who is concerned about your woes?
Stand tall. Be Brave. And Conquer.
That’s what you were sent here to do…
No time for running dry, eyes, because then you’ll have no use…
The lubricant of tears flowing help to keep your soul pure…(Selah)
I miss the eyes of innocence and how everything became an adventure…
The lights are out, so we watched the clouds, amazed by GOD’s beauty and splendor…
The fire hydrant serving as our water park in the summer…
The furnace giving heat, no fireplace around…
We’ll have Christmas with no reindeer, and a huge dinner fragrance filling the house…
The eyes of the innocent must always be preserved because without them even the best times would seem to be absurd…
A smile can seal a face and send beauty both near and far…
And when people see you smiling they don’t think to ask you “How you really are…”
They see your teeth and from cheek to cheek you seem to have it all figured out…
But when you look into the eyes of your beloved there’s a story shouting out…
Millenials, Gen Z, Gen X, Baby Boomers, Gen C…
We all have a story you see…
Based upon our life’s perception, the story tells itself…
How we handled the good times and in bad times how we were KEPT!
Whew JESUS!
That’s a story in and of itself…
Our glory years shining now into the twinkle of our eye…
A memory…
Of the good times and how we were really getting down…
Gone as a vapor…
Where have all the people gone?
“They grown chile and you is too, you best to figure out soon what you gon do!”
So we sit now on a stool or if it were a rocking chair, in amazement of how fast time flies and how things go from here to there…
Though I miss the eyes of innocence, there is nothing we can do.
Once you know what you know and you’ve seen many things come true…
You’ve experienced joy and pain… Sunshine and rain… But you’re still here…
Raindrops as it were dripping in your ear… Reminding us of the rhythm to the beat when our favorite song was on repeat…
Talking to your girlfriends or guy friends late into the midnight…
No Spotlight!
Time flies…
So what are you going to do?
Use the calculated data to become a Better you…
Share the love and wisdom you gathered throughout your years…
Remembering the triumph, laughter, jubilee, coupled with a few tears…
The data in your mind outweighing any camera or digital device…
Take care of your vision…
Be kind to your sight…
If the eyes were a teacher I’d believe the most valuable asset they’d want us to cherish is TIME… (Poem)
