Vision

Plants, trees, blossoms, fruits, and thorns too amidst blooms I witness,
I come across flies and birds and beasts and insects, and bees; 
More than these, my vision leads to my cerebral fitness,
Perception and conviction of facts and fancies find ease...!

Retina, optic nerves, optic chiasm, and optic tracts,
Physically work, like parts of a camera, deftly; 
Psychic vision, within the inner shrine, audits all facts,
This leads me, to positive thoughts, words, and actions, gently...!

Mental impressions, of the world around, this brings to light,
Truths and falsehoods of the realities are put to test;
Depth in faith, hope, trust, and fraternity reaches the height,
Peace, kindness, forbearance, and faithfulness, are full of zest...!

May my vision, like the sun and moon and the stars shine bright,
Like millions of candles, the sights of many, may this light...!!!
