Rhymes of the Heart
With Open Eyes
You see the magnolia
Blossoms of white
Such stately beauty
Bathed in sunlight
But did you notice
The scraggly pine
Bent and twisted
Nothing fine
You see the mansion
Standing bold
Breath taking view
A sight to behold
But did you notice
The run down shack
The happy children
Playing out back
You see a pretty child
In designer clothes
Prim and proper
How she glows
But did you notice
The homeless child
Thin and dirty
You could have smiled
With open eyes
We're still blind
In a world
That's so unkind
Have hope and faith
And then take part
For what's important
Comes from the heart
