Open Your Eyes Open your eyes and look toward me And you shall see-- Fishing ships upon the deep blue sea As tides roll on what seems to be Visions of eternity...  Open your eyes and look to the west And you shall confess-- Life's beyond beautiful at its best And who could ever dream of less Than natural light's sight impressed... Open your eyes and look to the east And you shall find-- Visions innumerable in which to feast As illusionary banquets of your mind Materialize in true kind... Open your eyes and remember this day As your day set free-- The blind man knew as mud washed away That Jesus spoke authoritatively, "Open your eyes and look toward me!" -Robert E.

There's no better place to set our eyes than on Him! Very nice, Bob! I like the cute little eyeballs too! Denise |

Wonderful message and so presented so well. Agreeing with Denise, keep our eyes on Him. Just as the blind man saw, so shall we. Good job.  Marcy |

Denise, You are right... There is no better place and there is nothing spiritually more beautiful to look at. Marcy, So true... When we keep our eyes fixed on Him, He allows us to see His creation in a fresh and new Light. Bonnie, I know by your witness that God can be seen all around us in the world which we live and the World which lives beyond. Rae, Now, it's hard for me to believe that this poem could be all that... but, I'll just trust in God and have faith that what you have said is true. Thank you. God Bless You All and Thank You for each of your replies, Bob <>< |

LightHouseBob~ And in His eyes ... I see a mere reflection of who I can be ... My eyes are on the Promised Land ... where I will walk hand in Hand with the one who promised me life after life, eternally. Thank you for this lovely and inspirational praise of Him. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Dear Bob; Those eyeballs gave a nice touch to this. I'm always centered if my eyes are fixed on Jesus. Wonderful poem. Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Marge, And in your eyes... I can see a miror reflection of He... Your eyes are on a Heavenly place... as you stare upon your Savior's face, the One who saved you by His Grace to your home beyond the stars and space. Thank you for your praise and commendations. Bob <>< Deb, Didn't mean to scare you with the eyes and all... but, you know angels are always watching over you. You are right, we do need to focus our attention on Him. God Bless You, Bob <>< Ellie, Yes, our lives are balanced when He is in the center of them. Let us keep looking upward for our redemption draweth near... Thank You, Bob <>< [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 10-21-2000).] |
