Eyes
The eye, within its shell
So valued that no one will sell
If lost and shut forevermore
It’s like living in an upper hell
If lost and shut forevermore
It’s like a sea without a shore
No matter how you turn to swim
You’ll ask yourself whatever for
Eyes can see and touch and talk
They travel even and they walk
They take you back through many years
And they let you see future folk
Pictures form on their screen
So real and clear they are seen
They touch your soul and give you joy
And make you tingle or serene
God in heaven preserve my eyes
In them my love for you lies
Keep them safe and make me see
What they don’t to become wise
