Eyes That Are Blind
How my heart yearned, truths to infuse
Into stubborn minds that refused
To see all God's simple truths.
Blind youths!
The tears came with fear induced thoughts.
Despairing, are their souls all lost?
But God's truth dried up the drops.
Hope swapped!
Accepting I can't change their minds.
The eye is where it's at, I'd find.
God opened eyes that were blind.
They're mine!

ReplyDeleteHi Charlene, Your poem conveyed a strong message. It's a great tragedy not being able to see with spiritual eyes! The Lord opened my eyes back in 1973, and I can't imagine living my life apart from Him. Thanks for a wonderful poem. It speaks volumes! God Bless.
Thank you so much Christine for your thoughtful comment.
DeleteBeautiful words that fills ones heart with truth. My eyes were opened in 1965 when I found Him and they get wider day by day. Always a joy to read you Charlene...

DeleteDear Charlene,
ReplyDeleteSometimes people turn a deaf ear (or a blind eye) to things that they don't truly comprehend. I am perplexed by today's youth. With all the computer games, they don't even have time to exercise. As we learn to accept each other's differences, sometimes we can learn from them. Be assured, your eyes are not blind. It's obvious you are a woman whose perceptions are on target and I admire your faith. Thanks so much for stopping by my November poem. Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire
Thank you so much for your comment Carolyn. I do much appreciate it.

Thank you, John Williams, for the following comment--
ReplyDeleteHere is a poem that reflects on youth's leap into more of the world's earthly living rather than searching out truths of God's love and promise of life here after. Thanks for sharing this poem.
Thank you John for your comments that reflect insight into the tendencies of youth. We all have to go through it, it seems.
