“Eye Sight”

By Rebecca Rose

When I woke up this morning,

My right eye was a blur

Covered with some crusteez

It made me growl a “grrr”.

So my eye, it’s not quite right

But that’s no trouble to me,

I long for a better sight

Give me a heavenly sight to see.

To look at all of God’s children

And see them in a proper light,

Of all they are and can be

When dressed in pure, temple white.

We all go through this crazy world

With opportunities to choose.

Sometimes we are not certain

If we’ll win or if we’ll lose.

I’m not always blinded physically

I’ve got two eyes that work.

But when I’m blinded spiritually

My duties I might shirk.

Be certain not to lose your sights

Don’t let them get too low.

Set them high to reach beyond

Onward, forward is where we go.

When we can look beyond ourselves

And look through heaven’s eyes,

We’ll do more good than ever dreamed

When we look beyond the skies.

Where are your sights set now?

Is it on the Father and the Son?

With the power of the Holy Ghost

This battle will be won!
