Thank you for sight,

Each hue of light,
Words that can heal.

Thank you for light:
Grace from above, 
Spirit moves sight.

Thank you for joy,
Thank you for time:
Love now employs,
Words set to rhyme.

Thank you for good,
Thank you for gains:
Touch fills each mood,
Sense pleasure-pain.

Thank you for life, 
Thank you for touch:
Love conquers strife,
Now bears fond much.

Thank you for peace,
Thank you for soul:
Stillness and bliss,
A wholesome whole!

Thank you for tears,
Thank you for pain:
Faith edges fear, 
Grace floods again.

Live wholesome heart,
True Spirit signs.

Thank you for more,
Thank you for each:
Grand, boundless store,
Abundant reach.

Urge and life quest,
Fond heart and will.

Thank you for taste,
Thank you for touch:
I work with haste
Feelings that nudge!

Thank you for sight,

Senses flood round,
Wisdom now heals.

Thank you for sense,
Thank you for thought:
Purge my pretense,
Watch beyond plot!

Thank you for day,
Thank you for night:
For work and play,
For zesty sight.

Thank you for health, 
Thank you for more:
Life's precious wealth,
More attracts more.

Thank you for path,
Thank you for road:
Soul knows enough,
Wholeness bears load!

Thank you for light,
Thank you for truth:
I feel insight,
I see love's proof.

Thank you for mind,
Thank you for thought:
Ego lives blind,
Watcher sees lots!

Thank you for all,
Thank you for style:
I heed soul's call,
I discern smiles!

Thank you for "Now",
Thank you my Lord:
All You endow,
My Darling God!

(Note: These verses were written in Nov 2008 after I had both cataracts in my eyes operated and new lens implants done. My eyesight was restored to full clarity for which I am forever grateful! For the first time, and ever since, I enjoy crystal clear eyesight. What a joy! Verse number 2 has become my everyday mantra.)
