My Eyes Were Made to See My eyes were made to reap with joy magnolia’s snowy bloom My sense of smell to taste the sweet of lilac’s soft perfume My ears were made to hear the raindrops tiptoe through the night My hands were made to touch the dogwood petal milky white My eyes were meant to spot a cardinal’s red in revelry My ears to hear the fluttering wings from out the holly tree My mouth to whisper words of praise that all this beauty lies In great abundance all around me under azure skies My eyes were meant to see the truth within the depths of yours My ears were meant to hear a distant cry I’ve heard before My heart was made to harbor sweet compassion’s precious seed My hands were meant to reach to others in their hour of need My feet are meant to leave a path that I have tread on earth My heart to hold the treasures that it deems of greatest worth My soul is meant to lead the mind on paths it knows are right My eyes were made to see the sorrow in your eyes tonight Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 11-01-2001).] |

Elizabeth~ Of all the beautiful joys your senses have shown you ... I think nothing is greater than this~ 'My hands were meant to reach to others in their hour of need' Love n' hugs~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I am glad I have eyes made for reading...otherwise I'd miss sweet beauty such as this...kudos Sol " The question shouldn't be...'Why are we here?' but rather 'ARE we here? " |
