' If Seeing Is Believing' Poem by Linda Winchell

' If Seeing Is Believing'

Rating: 2.9


If seeing is believing, then I'm more than would have known,
To see my words down in print, now written in this poem.

If seeing is believing, then I see clearer then once did,
For all this life was given, was all I needed then to live.

If seeing is believing, I then see what God did want?
Accomplishing all I was formed to be, in my daily walks and haunts.

If seeing is believing, then why don't others view?
The same it is my eyes have seen, making better of a you?

If seeing is believing, worlds and nations then would be
Living in peace and harmony, for more than just centuries.

Some views are blurred and foggy, not as I would pray they be.
But still I hope and ask my Lord, they might believe in what I see.

If seeing is believing, worlds' and Nations' then would be, Living in peace and harmony, for more than just centuries. ....................................................................................... On this question which is called eternal questions, there is the answers... Kind and angrily, black and white.... The first without the second does not exist... And without patience and hopes they it is not taken out... Linda<, from my 10... best wishes, Tsira

Hi Linda. it is good that you have seen what God wants, and even so, sometimes that view is not always clear. But I suspect that it is clear enough to point others toward the light. My prayer is with yours that 'they' may see what you are seeing.

You just know I can identify with this, sis. I am in the same frame of mind and always have been since I was old enough to reason things out. Black and white make for a dull existence, but could be an existence worth living if there was total peace in the world. Red and white make pink, and it adds a little color to our otherwise black and white world. That is what we need because seeing IS believing, and I wish the whole world would get this message. We need to see the pinks, violets, lavenders, purples, blues, yellows, greens, and belive that this is what the world could be, if people would get out and enjoy the beautiful, peaceful things this world provides for us. All we need to do to enjoy this, is stop all the wars, because for centuries they have proven that they are no good. We need to stop all the violence, crime, indifference, hate, prejudice, bigotry, discrimination, and get on with our lives so that we can get into more legally profitable things. In the original The Day The Earth Stood Still with Michael Rennie, Patricia Neal, and Sam Jaffe tells this moral throughout the whole movie. I only wish that the rest of the world would practice what that movie preaches. A 10+++++ and thank you for sharing. Love & hugs, your sister in Christ our Lord, Barbara
