Eyes of Faith

Eyes of Faith

His big blue eyes
can light up 1000 skies
he never lets you down
only holds you up high

he has the strength
every one wishes
they could possess
he has the faith
that no one could forget.

his life influenced many
his words will live on
his spirit will never fade
and his love grows strong

His words remind us who to be
and his love shows us where to be
he has so many people
who regret this cancer
but the lord is asking
for him to answer

He could be suffering
with pain unending
but the lord is there
the wounds he's mending

bumble bee's, honey,
and christmas trees
can't forget old westerns
butter pecan icecream,
and the loud t.v

after he passes he will never be forgotten
he will only live stronger
in each one of us
who he influenced
who he loved
who he taught..

His big blue eyes
can light up 1000 skies
he never lets you down
only holds you up high
when he's watching from above.
With his unending, faith and love.

Dedicated to my Grandpa Roger
I love you gramps.

Words can't even express the beauty of this poem. This poem not only brings me much emotion, but it gives such a sense of reality, with perfect imagery. I can picture Gramp with the words of your poem. How beautiful. You see, your gift of poetry is one that words, nor remarks can taper or shake, because it is real and from the heart. With every emotion and experience comes a poem from Crystal MacGinnis, and thats why its so real, and untouchable.
