Open Your Eyes
 
Open your eye that you may see
     The beauty that around you lies,
The misty loveliness of the dawn,
     The glowing colors of the skies;
 
The Child’s bright eager eyes of blue,
     The gnarled and wrinkled face of age,
The bird with crimson on his wing
     Whose spirit never knew a cage;
 
The roadsides blooming goldenrod
     So brave through summer’s wind and heat,
The brook that rushes to the sea
     With courage that naught may defeat.

Open your eyes that you may see
     The wonder that around you lies;
It will enrich your every day
     And make you glad and kind and wise.
