Especially For Ilene Bauer
Got to see a gift today
A gift I got from God
I came across some 3D glasses
And thought it very odd
I put the glasses beside me
And wonder what they’d bring
The next thing I noticed
Was the date on them Oct; 14 23
Tomorrow
I took the glasses home
And thought what a wonderful thing
I could see the eclips with this
That God gave me
Morning found me busy
and then I thought about the thing
Turned the television on
And It was waiting for me
Moments of time away
I didn’t miss a thing
I went outside this sunny day
To see what it would bring
I saw the very beginning
What a wonderful thing to see
Then I thought my neighbors
Would want to see the thing I see
I yelled for total strangers
And walked across the lot
Mostly spanish speaking people
I let see what I had got
I looked a dozen times
While the moon crossed the spot
A once in a lifetime venture
Was the ideal of my though
I’d give to total strangers
the thing for which I’ll never be forgot
But when it all was over
The glasses were not forgot
Thank you God for presence
A presence I almost forgot
Thanks for what you gave me
That I could give from just a lot
