The Eyes Have It

Twinkle, twinkle ebony eyes Sweeter than sweet My cutie-pies Twinkle, twinkle eyes of brown You turn each sad frown Upside down! Twinkle, Twinkle eyes of blue You bless us, Shining kindness true! Twinkle, twinkle hazel eyes Through cloud and storm And sunny skies Eyes beholding love and light Keep them Father, through day and night A sweet bouquet of children bright Shine in their hearts, with Love's delight Make this world a better place For every person of every race And thank You Lord for blessing me My sweet bouquet, my family Amen

Thank you Evelyn :) Children are such a wonderful joy, such beautiful blessings from a wonderful Father Who delights in the precious and wonderful sweetness of these budding souls. Like beautiful bouquets, each and every single blossom of every color, tribe and nation! Such precious sweetness, wonderous gifts of God :) They make me so happy <3

This one is sweet, Betty Jo. "Make this world a better place for every person of every race" Thats what I call a prayer.

Thank you Sotto, I am so blessed with my children, they keep me alive and hopeful for brighter tomorrows, I can't lose hope in the darkest of days seeing their loving hopefulness! They sure make me want the world to be there for them all, to shine in a brighter, sweeter light :) So many celebrations are made so much happier with them, and there is always something to celebrate! :) <3
