The Eyes of a Child




If I could but see you
Through the eyes of a child
You would be the brightest star
Sailing in a sea of milk and honey
Lighting up the midnight sky
Like butterflies in a kaleidoscopic meadow
If I could but see you

If I could but see you
Through the eyes of a child
Shovel and bucket in hand
You would be my masterpiece in sand
If I could but see you

If I could but see you
Through the eyes of a child
Your hallowed face would color outside the lines
Like a rainbow tainted sky
If I could but see you
Through the eyes of a child

All grammatical errors are mine.
And only mine.
I should have been paying more attention in
Grammar Class
Instead, I was daydreaming about hiking the
Appalachian Trail.

Welcome Friends!
1 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. 2 Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. 3 That's right - if you make Insight your priority, and won't take no for an answer, 4 Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, 5 Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours; you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God. 6 And here's why: God gives out Wisdom free, is plainspoken in Knowledge and Understanding. 7 He's a rich mine of Common Sense for those who live well, a personal bodyguard to the candid and sincere. 8 He keeps his eye on all who live honestly, and pays special attention to his loyally committed ones. 9 So now you can pick out what's true and fair, find all the good trails! 10 Lady Wisdom will be your close friend, and Brother Knowledge your pleasant companion. 11 Good Sense will scout ahead for danger, Insight will keep an eye out for you. 12 They'll keep you from making wrong turns, or following the bad directions 13 Of those who are lost themselves and can't tell a trail from a tumbleweed...
20 So - join the company of good men and women, keep your feet on the tried and true paths. 21 It's the men who walk straight who will settle this land, the women with integrity who will last here.
From Proverbs 2 of The Message (MSG)
