My Ears and Eyes

My Eyes and Ears With both mouth and ears opened wide To God I prayed and out so often cried; Thanked Him for treasures that He gave; A happy place for me in heaven did save. On an ocean while I watched each wave Which led some people to a watery grave Way down deep and as well as far below Was a place where God wanted me to go. My very soul from me had been vacated Met God in heaven and was highly elated At all the songs and sounds I had heard And enjoyed and appreciated every word. God in heaven on high and way up above What I liked the best about all of His love Was how much it always had meant to me, And not a better place could there ever be. James Thomas Horn www.poetrysoup.com www.story-telling-around-the-world.com Wrote this while listening to my wife's Sunday Morning Choir practice. Bob Lynott had asked me what I was writing. This is what it was.
