John Knight - 1017 EYES - WINDOWS INTO THE SOUL

Описание

The EYE a marvel of our God's creation It peforms for us a legion of things The faintest spark - we can see in thedark And watch the motion of humming birds wings The eye has a lens that is so self adjusting An optic nerve relays sight to the brian The thousands of images daily we see And colourful sights - a Fiesta in Spain. The eye can take dozens and dozens of pictures Each second so movement is seen Each picture is faithfully stored in the brain In red, orange, yellow, blue, violet and green. The retina has zones - the rods and the cones When it's dark they help us to see They also distinguish the colour of things The green of the grass and the blue of the sea. As we get older our eyes lose their power To focus on thimgs far and near Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses So they wear contat lenses I hear. Take care of tour eyes - please wear safety specs Beware flying sparks when shoeing your horse Or when usiing a plane or a lathe It's all good Health and Safety - of course! ! Cataracts - glaucoma - defects of the eye Disorders that affect our sight Remind us how precious to us are our eyes No longer so shiney and bright. Please remember that sight is a God given sense So take care what you watch on TV The eye is a windoe straight into the soul Wha we see governs - what we will be!
