Brand New Eyes

I have found it quite troublesome, the task of writing a poem for my soon-to-be-blind friend. So what I have brought you is my best effort. My friend said that this burden has prompted her to rediscover her faith in God and start attending church again. This poem is about how losing her vision has renewed her spirit in a way. It's called "Brand New Eyes."


Look your eyes to the Heavens,
and open your heart to His love.
Anything is possible
when it's left our Lord above.

Spread out your palms, receive Him,
and He shall smile 'pon your face.
Do not deny, believe Him
and you shall relish in His grace.

Your soul may be wary,
but shed not a single tear.
For He is here to carry
you in times of loss and fear.

So worry not of what's to come,
for He will catch you should you fall,
Fear not the lonely nights,
for he will find you when you call.

This newfound faith runs through you,
and replinishes your soul
before damnation may undo you
and consume your spirit whole.

And though colors may be fading
into shadows, into light;
His love has prompted you to see
this world through brand new eyes.
