Through The Eyes Of An Angel



Thank you Jesus for placing
A special light in my life
In the form of an angel
Who brings me new sight


To see the world through her eyes
To see my world anew
Is a treasure everlasting
A panaramic view


She moved to my land
From another far from here
And brought me new vision
A new sense of cheer


She describes the places I've walked
With such a deep love
That I wonder where she's been
What she's talking about


I take my world for granted Lord
I'm ashamed to say
But she brings out it's beauty
In such a colorful way


I'm now looking at my hometown
Through her sweet and loving eyes
And see a brand new world
Unfold before my eyes


I'm thankful for her appreciation
Of what I've always had
And feel a sense of gratitude
For the things that make her glad


I've walked this land since birth
And never saw the treasures
Until I met my special light
Who colored it with her love


Thank you and Praise you Jesus
For showing me a brand new world
Through the eyes of an angel

I wrote this poem about an online friend. She moved to my state from another and suddenly brought the beauty that I had lived around all my life to a new light for me. Her appreciation for New England just astounded me and when she'd describe all she saw I'd wonder where it is that she was talking about...could it be New England, where I'd lived my entire life? She brought me a treasure of appreciation for what's been mine this whole time and I never really saw it, so I wanted to thank her in the only way I know how...through words:-)...Thank you ((((Hugs)))) Kathy for just being the angel that you are:-)
