see the gifts

I see

a small hand

reach out

to play

with dust dancing

in a shaft

of morning sun.

 our eyes meet

and he smiles

a shining smile

 

Lord, in all my busyness and preoccupation, I don’t see the gifts in the present moment. I want to regain my sight.

“And the blind man said to Him, ‘I want to regain my sight.’” Mark 10:51
