Vera Duggan Poet Rhyme

Looking Through My Eyes

Open up your eyes and you will see
That the best things in life are free
Rabbits that play in the velvet grass
The bird that in the sky flies past
The stars that twinkle in the sky
Those big black swans that pass me by
The sun that shines so high above
All radiate creators love
So much beauty that brings me joy
A friendly smile from an infant boy
Or from a gorgeous little girl
Even the sight of a gem or pearl
I could not live without all this
So much in life fills me with bliss

Andrea Dietrich June 3, 2016 at 9:09 PM Sweet as can be, Vera. Like paul, I am charmed by it. Vera Duggan June 3, 2016 at 11:55 PM Andrea my friend thank you so much for visiting my page and reading my little poem, as I have said many times life is to short not to enjoy anything and everything, so we make the most of it, at the moment we are listening to meditation music with pictures on TV and it is so relaxing and really makes life worth living, take care........Vera
