Close your eyes...

[Eyael]

Close your eyes;
What do you see?
Do you see what's really there,
Or do you see what you expect there to be?
It's more than blood and bone we share.
Reveal our heart, our soul, our mind...
We're all the same when you're blind;
Blind to color, beauty, weight and height.
There's more to see than just with sight.
So close your eyes and see what's there;
You see more blind then when you stare.
Close your eyes and open your mind...
We're not so different when you're blind.

Eyael,

Lovely! I enjoy this sentiment. I love the line, 'there's more to see than just with sight.'

If we look at each other deeply, we see what is INSIDE rather than just the physical.

I've always said that our bodies are just shells for our souls. Some of us are blessed with beautifully wrapped 'packages', but it's what INSIDE that truly counts. The soul.

Lonelygirl,

that's the exact idea I was trying to give ^^

That's what many of us fail to understand...

great poem,
was expecting it to end with,
We're not so different you and I
But the message was really good
Well to me..cus I really do believe that we are all the same...the world has a way of making us seem different because we all experience it in different ways...but if you really, truely got to know another indiviual I think you'd find yourself...yea u'd find bad as well as good...weaknesses as well strenghts...but essentially we are all the same...

Mimi, you can DO anything through Christ who strengthens you.

You can face any problem.

You can pray and ask for friendship in your life, understanding, and a chance to use your God-given talents.

Hugs,

LG.
