Looking Through My Eyes

Open up your eyes and you will see That the best things in life are free Rabbits that play in the velvet grass The bird that in the sky flies past The stars that twinkle in the sky Those big black swans that pass me by The sun that shines so high above All radiate creators love So much beauty that brings me joy A friendly smile from an infant boy Or from a gorgeous little girl Even the sight of a gem or pearl I could not live without all this So much in life fills me with bliss

Andrea my friend thank you so much for visiting my page and reading my little poem, as I have said many times life is to short not to enjoy anything and everything, so we make the most of it, at the moment we are listening to meditation music with pictures on TV and it is so relaxing and really makes life worth living, take care........Vera
