Just Stating the Obvious
Two eyes I have for God’s works to behold
praying to be spared from cataract
when birthdays would reveal my age is old.
Left and right ears toward comprehending
while learning through special child’s sign language
perceiving his sounds with understanding.
Midst tongue to feast on varied foods, tasteful
and mouth declaring of the Lord’s greatness
I smile with my dimples, indeed grateful.
Blest with nose to enjoy good scents' delight
aware of toxic odor that lingers
my smell-sense seeks therapeutic herbs' might.
Confronted with gray hair reality
sometimes denying very existence
I now yield to overt truth’s certainty.
Affirming face-expressions through gestures
my hands reach-out by the Spirit’s power
as faith surmounts fleshly adventures.
Striving always to step in Christ’s peace bliss
my feet falter with human nature flaw
yet move on sharing Gospel I won’t miss.
Bowing my head in supplication plea
heart admits sins needing Saviour’s pardon
I do offer* my life with obvious glee.
*Psalm 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High.
