For Your Eye's Only!

A strange thing happened when I sat down at my desk a few minutes ago. I felt as
if someone was staring at me. Then I saw those eyes I had seen before, my dad's!
I keep a round bowl on the desk to hold old cards and letters. Someone had placed
the picture of dad right where I would see him, and he would see me (so it feels).
It's from the funeral home and offers information about dad. I had moved it out
of sight some time ago because I didn't need to see it every timeI sat down at the
desk.
This time I stared back into those eye's for quite awhile. I couldn't take my eye's
off his eye's. It was a wonderful moment for me I must admit. After all, dad died
a year ago and I miss being able to see him as well as talk to him. Not to mention
those hugs he gave to everyone he saw while he was in the retirement home before
his death.
I can still hear him saying, "Turn your eye's upon Jesus" Can't you?
