STORIES TO BE TOLD

NOV. 6th 1989

My eyes have seen so many things,
Stories to be told!
From the loving glow of A young child's face,
To the tears of the hungry and cold !

My eyes have seen so many things,
Of joy, and of despair.
From the birth of my children ,
To parents not often there.!

My eyes have seen so many things,
Of laughter, and of shame.
From three kids running , yelling DAD!!!
To A man with himself to blame!

My eyes have seen so many things,
Of peace, and of fright!
From moments alone with my family,
To A junkie's struggle through the night!

My eyes have seen so many things,
Of expectations, and of surprise!
From the fire in your heart , that I lit ,
To the man that you despise!

My eyes have seen so many things,
OF DARKNESS, AND OF LIGHT,
From the troubles caused, by eyes closed,
To the blinding reality of sight!

My eyes have seen so many things,
Knowing they don't have to be!
A man can change anything!
A forest starts with just one tree!
