Ellen Fahey Poet Didactic

With God's Eyes

If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would be gentler with myself.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would laugh more...a lot more!
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would see the goodness in others first, not their faults.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would recognize another's need for compassion.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would be more forgiving when someone hurts me.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would recognize when someone truly loves me.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would accept their love, and be so grateful for it.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would hug my family more, and tell them I love them.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would be more gentle on those I love.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would love myself.
If I could see with God's eyes,
   I would love perfectly.
