Noseglasses

When my arms weren’t so long Scruffy hairs on my ears Puffy bags round my eyes Saggy skin ‘neath my chin And things close weren’t as clear It was time for nose glasses I was sad that nose glasses Made my face look so long And rubbed grooves on my ears But I focused my eyes As I looked past my chin And saw things were more clear When I needed things clear I would lose my nose glasses And my search took too long For a rest on my ears And the strain on my eyes Put gray hairs on my chin So I scratched my old chin And thoughts came oh so clear Of a pair of nose glasses For each room wide or long To perch high on my ears And give aid to my eyes Then I gazed with my eyes As I wrinkled my chin Loving faces so clear Sights above my nose glasses Lingered vivid and long Speaking youth to my ears Those sweet sounds to my ears Caused a dance with my eyes Smiled and dimpled my chin Resonating so clear Little ones and nose glasses Bringing closeness along Be my sight short or long I’ll need help for these eyes To see life bright and clear
