Heal Your Eyes
May your eyes behold beauty
Before they notice fault;
Finding wonder
Where others see only weakness.
May they see the vision
God has placed before you,
And the path prepared
For your feet to follow.
May they guard the vulnerable
As the apple of your eye,
Protecting the weak
Without seeking power over them.
May your eyes look past your own wounds,
Seeing not only what has been,
But what, through grace,
You are yet to become.
May they witness every trial
As a lesson worth passing on,
That your grandchildren
May inherit resilience
Rather than fear.
May your eyes delight
In the face of those you love,
Seeing in them
The gifts Heaven has entrusted to your care.
May they behold reasons to nurture,
To encourage,
And to leave behind
A legacy that blossoms.
May your eyes be blind
To every glittering path
That would lead you
Away from the Light.
May your eyes see beyond the moment,
Choosing wisdom
Over impulse,
Truth over illusion,
And tomorrow
Over temporary gain.
May your eyes be healed;
Healed of envy,
Of bitterness,
Of pride,
And of hidden desires
That cloud your heart.
May your eyes reflect
The eyes of the Creator:
Seeing with mercy,
Looking with compassion,
Discerning with wisdom,
And loving without measure.
For blessed are the eyes
That behold the goodness of God,
Even in seasons
When hope is difficult to find.
