All That These Eyes Have Yet To See

I am here as I was before
Break it down to knees and ask for no more
Over a coarse of time 
You hear a certain voice in a rhyme
Bleed from the eyes
Now you can feel the stress in our cries
A soft bed despite a home with the dead
Is all that these eyes have yet to see
My mission
To rise to a higher position
Reach out with white palms
Not frightened
But I'm no more peaceful than I am calm
Heaven is all these eyes have yet to see
It's a simple poem,
Spoken in a lower volume 
At times we speak on scattered thoughts
Shattered dreams, 
And memories of every battle we've fought
Every morning I'm awakened by your hands
Bless it be the structure of this man
A family and smiles, 
A happy expression on the face of a child 
Is all I've yet to SEE
