I am posting this for my dear friend Felix Perry…he is down for the moment till he can get his membership sorted out.

He asked me to tell you all...he will miss you ALOT…and try and read as a visitor if possible

Sight and Sound

by: Felix Perry

I’ll not weep for prayers unanswered

Nor pray for what can’t be

I am alive and I have sound and sight

That’s good enough for me

I can see the landscape painted

Fall’s shades of red, orange and green

I can see a smiling child at play

Too young to know the word mean

I can see a woman’s love of child

As a babe suckles at her breast

I can hear grand-daughters laughter

One of the sounds I like the best

I hear the oceans breakers crash upon shore

See our table set with more food then we eat

I can hear the wind songs through the trees

I can stroll along on my own feet

I smell flowers that I see growing wild

Hear the birds sing nature’s voice of joy

I see the Northern Lights and stars at night

I heard the roar of a hot rod a big boy’s toy

So all in all life is what you see and hear

I’ll not weep and I’ll not shed a tear

God gave us so much to be thankful for

Just stop and count your blessings evermore.
