Raise Your Eyes

When you walk on the road
  it's smart to gaze down
How else would you know
  there's a hole in the ground

Yet please don't forget
  to raise your eyes to the skies
whence all your help comes ~
  Salvation's neither dust nor crumbs

It is a delicate dance yet we must do both to be effective.

please don't forget to raise your eyes to the skies True salvation depends on God's mercy. You say so much truth in small poems. Amazing. Enjoy your day friend. Take care, Rama
