> “Learn to See”
>
> So many people passing by-
> How sad, they never see:
> The beauty all around them..
> And the heavens’ tapestry.
>
> The grace of deer when feeding
> In a copse out in the wild.
> Or the rainbow’s beauty fleeting...
> And it’s pastel hues so mild.
>
> They don’t see the lofty grandeur
> Of the Colorado peaks...
> Not the sparkling brook so pretty-
> As the sea it’s water seeks.
>
> Oh, they take it all for granted-
> I am glad I learned to see...
> Before the hand of fate reached down
> And robbed the gift from me.
>
> Have you ever watched the snowflakes
> As they softly danced and whirled?
> Or a newly hatched young butterfly-
> As new wings were unfurled?
>
> Have you looked across the table-
> At your husband or your wife...
> And paused to breathe a prayer of thanks,
> For what you have in life?
>
> So while you have the time, my friend-
> Please take a tip from me....
> And learn to do much more than...Look-
> You’d better learn to...See.


So well expressed, Gunslinger! I really enjoy reading your poetry.

Sandie :o)
