God has restored my poor eyesight since 2007 as a sure proof that God has given me a great vision.Because of that, I am often surprised by the fact that my eyesight is better than that of my youth.
Suddenly Surprising
by Choi Paul-Yearn
When reading a book
I am suddenly surprised
as if my hand touch fire.
I couldn't read without magnifying glasses
from the early 40s to the late 60s
But until now at the age of 82 years
I have been reading with naked eyes
the letters smaller than a sesame.
Suddenly surprising at my repaired eyes
I often bow my head to God in thanks.
At reading in the subway senior seat
the next passenger asks me
with a surprise, can you see it?
Joyfully nodding head with a smile
my soul bows down to God
thanksgiving spring rises from inside
it overflows in my spirit.
That certainly is a good sign. Not many aging people can say that of their eyes.
I am approaching 80 but find that my myopia is a relatively insignificant impairment. Although over the years I was given annoying bifocals, I never used those prescriptions and now, not driving or needing glasses for distant viewing, my myopia serves me well so that I do not need reading glasses in the house at all. However, FinePrint is getting a little harder to read.
Edward Phillips,thank you for your friendly interest in my poems. I remember your name for your last review at my poem. I would like to talk for God¡¯s glory to you as my brother in Christ about how to be brightened my eyesights.
Meanwhile, I have been writing while working as a teacher in a public school .preaching the gospel to students, colleagues and parents
When I was ordained as a pastor, the Lord gave me two holy gift. One was to preach the Word, the other was the ability to heal and cast out demons .as a weapon necessary for preaching the Word. After ordinated, I have worked as a educational pastor in Sunday school of church, working in common school. I have seen God save many lives through preaching and that gift.
After early retirement from school, I preached on the subway for 10 years by distributing 150,000 copies of the booklets of 32 pages I picked from my ebangelism books which is well known to Korean christians.
However, at the last of subway preaching, God permitted me to cast life-saving net covering the world through my literature. At that time, God promised me to repair eyesight and do not lose my energy as He did Moses..
So I believe that the Lord will fulfill that promise, and I am trying to do my best. Thank you.
Such a beautiful soliloquy of love and gratitude! Yes, we
take our eyesight for granted--until we can't. If this is in
praise of cataract surgery, I join with you in giving high
praise for the advances in this impactful procedure. I'm also thankful that Medicare paid for the surgery. In return, I also occasionally offer a poem to give thanks for the gift of eyesight
and other body functions.
