A Treasured Gift

A Treasured Gift
                               The gift of sight is life's most precious.
                                      To see the world at it's best.

                                  To see the wonder of a baby's birth.
                                      A rainbow over the horizon.
                              The love in the eyes of your sweetheart.

                                   All the emotions that tell us how 
                                             the heart is feeling.

Well, hello Anne. Thank you for stopping by. I just perused the comments on this and can't believe I didn't leave a comment before. I have read this, that I know for sure. The content is, as you know, a little close to home, so not easy to talk about it sometimes. As you well know. Hope all is going well for you and truly hope to see a new posting from you soon. Peace. :)

If only humans could be grateful for what have got and not complaining for what they have not much happier would they be! Who wouldn't give all the money in the world for to see the smile of his beloved people? Great thought, excellent message!
