With Mine Eyes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I know my life is lit by inner light,
Exciting my insight kept bright to cling...
With a tight grasping hold,
To endure through darkness...
I sought to fight.

Day and night with faith,
I would pray for strength...
To assist the chasing away,
Of those doubts that begged me to fear.

Day and night with faith,
I would pray to remove...
Insurmountable obstacles,
I proved I could and would break through...
IF I wanted to.
And this I did to do.

With mine eyes,
I can see and perceive it.
And with mine eyes...
I am the victor.
I can succeed.

And with mine eyes,
I have received...
With belief,
I can and will achieve.

And with mine eyes,
I can see and perceive it...
I am the victor!
I can and will succeed.

Day and night with faith,
I would pray to remove...
Insurmountable obstacles,
I proved I could and would break through...
IF I wanted to.
And this I did to do.

'Cause with mine eyes,
I can see and perceive it.
I am the victor.
I can and will succeed.
