The Eternal Eye Seeing Within

The human eye is an awesome thing
to be able to see things all in colour
even from the earliest age of sight
large and small seeing nothing duller

Storms come into your life
tossing you around to and throw
but the eternal one has a purpose
you can't see it thinking it's a blow

Remind yourself often of His promises
for His faithfulness is everlasting
trust in Him knowing His grace
it's amazing leaving you flabbergasting

God's eye never shuts or indeed blinks
His watchfulness is always upon you
this is our God who doesn't sleep
the Lord's loving mercy is ever new

Even when the storm strikes
His hand holds you in its grip
knowing divine peace to ever abide
sailing onwards on heavens ship

Hi Gordon, Another poem of God,and his eternal watchful eye,how reassuring this is, but he also relies on us not being too stupid, and cannot get us out of all the situations that us humans find ourselves in, pause, think then act, use your gift of logic, logically. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer
