Focus

This one I wrote for a child who needed help seeing things from a new perspective. And learned I needed the lesson too.

       

Focus

When "I" and "me"

is all I can see.

My trials are mountains,

my triumphs walls.

Both stopping and

imprisoning me in walls of

self centered blindness.

When "Thee" and "Thine"

Direct my eyes divine.

His hands lift to

higher vistas.

His ways lead to

heaven's panoramic joy.

Focus on self,

to damming death.

Focus on Christ

to eternal life.
