I Already Have One… I am doubly blessed in many ways, So hear me God, in this I pray: If I’ve two hands, can I make do with one? If so Lord, give one of mine, to one without. If I’ve two eyes, just to see, Then oh Lord, give one of mine to the blind, please. If I’ve two ears, just to hear, Then just so Lord, I can with one, no doubt? So give half of my hearing to another, so that he may hear the word “brother”. But this I pray, leave me my two legs, That I may walk along, and spread your love. And leave me my two arms, tho I have but one hand For with two arms, I can still give Your hugs. And leave my heart whole, so that it may grow In your love, and in all that I know To be right, and just, and kind, and good, So someday you’ll rejoice in the stand you stood. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

This is a very giving poem, a very fitting Thanksgiving piece. Nice thoughts. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
