To Look Behind Green Eyes
January 17, 2013 by kmabarrett
Can you, Will you, Please?
|
|
| Can you see my soul? |
|
Or is it beyond your reach. |
| Can you hold my hand? |
|
Or is it beyond your grasp. |
| Can you trust my word? |
|
Or is it beyond your faith. |
| Can you stand beside me? |
|
Or is it beyond your strength. |
|
| Will you see me near you? |
|
Trying to understand. |
| Will you see me near you? |
|
Reaching for your hand. |
| Will you see me near you? |
|
Gaining in your faith. |
| Will you see me near you? |
|
Strengthening your strength. |
|
| Please look behind my eyes, |
|
And try to reach my soul. |
| Please offer me your hand, |
|
Together we can hold. |
| Please let me gain your faith, |
|
I would not cause you fear. |
| Please let me stand beside you, |
|
Please let me, please be near. |

That’s beautiful!
Thanks Sis, Glad you liked it.
Kevin,
That is beautiful… Timing is right too.
I wonder how many will use it (giving you credit of course) in their Valentine’s card.
😉
Glad you enjoyed it.
As I don’t have many followers, not many (I predict). But if even one does, and I find out about it, I think that would be soooo cool!
