grandmother eyes
that's what I want
eyes that see behind
the smiles...
eyes that pierce and
warm the heart
my grandmother's eyes
have known
4+ generations of
seeing
her family through
sowing tears in the night season
....reaping joy in the morning
eyes that observed
every role in every story
privy to private deeds
and witnessed love in all
its glory
eyes that see the future
keeping record of the past
eyes that know from the WORD
only what we do for Christ will last
Lord, long life is not my
desire...this world is not my goal
You alone know my needs
and what it takes to save my soul
But, bless me with wisdom
as I reach the fullness of my time
anoint me with Your eyesalve
give me sight where I am blind...
