What Do You See
I was inspired to write this poem from listening to my niece’s (Joleen Cogburn) Daily Bread Devotionals these last few days. Now I wonder - What do you see???
What Do You See
While sitting there quietly
Before us we take in a view
All things are seen differently
Between us all as well as you
For some the sight is scary
With the evil glaring through
While others visualize beauty
Filled with joyful happiness too
A few will have the weeds they see
With dead plants and even bugs too
Others look at flowers and every tree
While admiring where each one grew
From one’s mind comes the visibility
Developed within the heart of you
Let our walk guide us with integrity
As the Lord will test our minds too
We have free will to choose actually
As we learn the right and wrong to do
So you are sure to get what you see
Just like we reap what we sow is true
The wickedness really tries to get me
The righteous path is hard to get thru
I will always seek for the good diligently
Keeping Jesus close by my side as I do
Visions may be distorted and blurry
When we carry many burdens too
We should be accepting it all gladly
Even if the load gets heavy for you
Blessings come through adversity
On that difficult path to pursue
So looking out WHAT DO YOU SEE
Is that the right vision for you
