“Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.”
~Thomas Merton
Windows to the Soul
Eyes twinkle as smiles unfold
Opening windows to the soul
Lips of kindness softly speak
Shedding wisdom for the meek
Ears send sound waves to the mind
Listening as thoughts unwind
Sights and sounds of nature’s rare beauty
Keep us attuned to faith and duty
Arms stretch outward opening wide
Inviting warmth and comfort inside
Hands keep loved ones secure and near
Clasping tightly those held most dear
Legs and feet, a firm foundation stand
Holding steadfast through every demand
Mind and body should always remain in sync
Being in control of what we do and think
Heartfelt emotions triumph to never subside
Waning not, enduring forever to abide
Love and devotion join firmly hand in hand
Echoing solidity, not shifting sand
Memories unite the heart with the soul
Relishing that moments never grow cold
Windows to the soul reflect who we are
Opening portholes for those near and far
