Heaven in Your Eyes

When I look into your eyes
I see pictures of heaven.
Long walks down golden streets,
And St. Peter guarding the entrance.
I see mansions and loved ones
And old country rivers
That wind and trickle
A soft melody,
Along with meadows and wild animals,
I see a wide front porch with old stories
That are told and passed down,
And disagreements that are settled
Over a pot of coffee, or tea,
Not by guns and fists and knives.
I see heaven in your eyes.
Maybe it's just that your generation
Has embedded itself into the way I see my life.
But, Papa let me tell you something,
When you tell me those stories around the kitchen table,
And listen to me as I weave tales
And share in my achievements
And applaud me no matter what I do,
I know that I can see Jesus in you.
And I know that he would be proud
That heaven is reflected in your eyes.

Just so beautiful and touching from the heart. Your Papa must be very proud of his grandaughter. How I love to hear stories and just listen to our older generations of folks. I grew up with those morals and thoughts of that time 30's-60's. I really have a tough time in this generation of now, although I am trying. wonderful write, Gin.
Always, Amber Rose :) |
