Through Your Eyes

  

Through my eyes I can see

all the beautiful colors

the world has to offer me

from the life giving green

of a new born leaf

to the mysterious blue

of heaven’s floor.

Through your eyes they become

a three dimensional

priceless piece of art.

 

Through my eyes I notice

all the animals of the world

as such caring creatures

that enjoy every breath

and the simple pleasures

they are given.

Through your eyes you see

every beat of their hearts

as a sweet love song.

 

When I see a baby

I see new life,

you see the future.

 

When I see a good deed

I see compassion,

you see humanity.

 

Oh how I’d love to see myself

through your eyes

just so I can see

the man I am and the man I want to be.

Beautifully written. I really liked this piece.

'Oh how I'd love to see myself

I love that last stanza, it is the perfect ending to a wonderful poem.

oh I liked very much this: "Through your eyes they become / a three dimensional / priceless piece of art. "

Such a sweet desire, Dale. I best liked the first stanza.. so fresh... so unspoken.

I have to go with the concensus here - the last stanza is my favorite. I think the ability to see ourselves through the eyes of others would be a great gift. We tend to focus on all those negative voices inside our heads - and never see the positives within ourselves. A very deep and beautiful write.

I really like the interpretations throughout of what you see and the other person sees. The ending brings this home nicely with the thoughts of what that person must see in you. Great flow and meaning in your poem!

Masterfully done darling!
Wonderful.
How we always wonder how another sees us. We cannot see our own beauty. We cannot see our own strength. At times, it takes someone near us, dear to us, to finally show us just how truly beautiful, how inwardly gorgeous we really are. Inside, outside.... our whole being is divine.
Wonderfully written!

last stanza got me, too! This poem is so humble in a way...and full of admiration for a loved one. You just keep getting better and better. I am grateful to have the opportunity to view your work. Thanks for sharing, Dale!

I'm with the crowd on this Dale. That last stanza took my breath away. The beauty in its words is beyond my ability to express.

Your last few lines are very powerful. The desire to see our selves through another's eyes - it would provide such understanding and clarity. But alas, we must look into our own souls for the answers.........
