If only you could look at what I see The things that make you so very dear to me The things that I've seen from the very start The things that brought you so close to my heart The smile on your face glint of your eye Shining bright like the sun like stars in the sky Those aren't the only things that appear in you It's what in your heart that shows right through If only you could look at what I see Then you would indeed see the person you can be ------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, I have heard these very sentiments from my best friend time and time again. I wish I could start to believe them one of these days. Maybe he'll send me to your poem and it'll finally sink in. LOL Great piece. Dawn |

If in your eyes I be that bright then why cannot I see that light... if in your smile I should smile too is that the place I'd find the clue... if in your heart I find largesse is that then how I would be the best? But of your faith in me my friend I will grow and comprehend. Ah it's happening..I see Sven's name, have to zero in to read the work... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Sven; This is a delightful poem and how beautiful we all would realize we are if we all saw ouselves through the eyes of those who see our true inner beauty. You have penned this so wonderfully! ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Sven~ Very insightful. We need to tell others often what we see in them so they can be aware of the potential they hold. Very nicely said. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sven, This is so nicely stated- How blind we are to our own potentials(or at least deny them so as to avoid their responsibility) but it is no secret to others, who looking with the heart not only see the present, but can see the possible future in a positive way! Very Good, David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |
