Through the Eyes of Your Heart
Through The Eyes of Your Heart
Have you ever just stopped?
Be amazed by the wonders of this life God has blessed us so abundantly.
To look inside a child's face..the innocence it holds.
No fear yet revealed.
Feel the compassion for the frail person you pass on the street..
Maybe..notice sitting alone on a bench..
Those from in which this life has gave.. and yet took.
Behind their tender smiles they so graciously give..
You can almost see a lifetime unfold..
The tears and laughter..the joy and the pain.
Wrapped in a single smile.
It's all in the beauty we allow our hearts to see.
The mysteries of this life..so breathtaking..
Some.. yet so simple ..
The wind twirling a leaf up into the sky on a crisp Fall day..
The beauty of a snowflake as it falls so gracefully to the ground..
The color filled sunset at the end of a long summer day..
The first glazed frost of Winter..
The beautiful smells of the first blooms of Spring..
The most awesome site as the morning sun rises up ..just over the Eastern sky.
Just stop.
Take it all in..
Look,listen, and feel..
With the eyes your heart has so graciously been given.
