Rolling Eyes

You are the sunshine of my life That’s why I’ll always be around You are the apple of my eye Forever you’ll stay in my heart —Stevie Wonder “Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings…” —Psalm 17:8a ROLLING EYES Rolling eyes, contemptible, in the tent that you present. Averting, left or right, neither straight - a googly-eye menace, a disgrace. Replace with grace. Concentrate. Be respectable. Don’t make a spectacle. Lean in and learn. Chaos can turn into peace. Your body represents the living God and should reflect His name. His name is integrity. Be incredibly brave. Let the other person be heard. You, be real. Don’t roll the dice - snake eyes slither and cocoons. They ruin relationships between parents, kids and spouses. Rolling eyes hurts the head and eyelids, hurts the one’s you love. They notice and get enraged or walk away. Rolling eyes is not brave. It takes time to unlearn but can be undone. Give a hug with clear and bright browns, blues, and greens and in betweens. Child of God, don’t be a wanderlust - be the apple.

Good one, Kim. Teenagers can give those eye rolls and other moves that says don't tell me what to do, you don't understand, you are old and have not idea, etc. I guess some adults don't outgrow it either. Thanks for all the visits to my page. Sara

Beautiful and much needed reminder, when one gives advice or tries to guide we shouldnt roll our eyes. Ah iv never read a poem about rolling eyes: this is so clever: and didactic, i want to try that. Is that a form? I love the flow and i must admit i roll my eyes alot: yes “ be the apple” love that: a good apple ripe too. Sending you light today and always
