Let Me See Through Your Eyeballs...

I already saw many things
Through my own precious eyes
Vision is really a great blessing
Thank God for that privilege

I saw many things and heard a lot
I didn't grasp them all completely
But I tried to defend them always
Because they were my own views and judgements

I tried to build up my life
Based on my self-made philosophy
I never listened to what others saw
I thought it meant for them and not for me

Now I realize I was mistaken
I am glad I learned it at least now 
I don't worry it is too late
I believe I can make it very well

I always feel young at heart
It is one of the positives I have
It helps me to rise again from destructions
And extend my wings to soar high up in the sky

Today is the day and now is the hour
Open your eyes ,see around
Tell me what do you see, and what do you think
I will definitely listen to you with respect
