 Eyes That See |
| My Old Friend Pain Each day I live you come to me, Almost always by surprise. You have no thought of decency, From my tip-toes to my eyes. Sometimes you stay just a little while, Other times you stay too long. And when you do, you sing to me a very painful song. But, dear old friend, thank God for you, For without your warning signs, I would not know And could not know Those injuries of mine. And I would probably bleed to death, or something just as bad, If you weren't there to counsel me By helping me feel bad. So, my dear old friend, thank God for you Just one more time. 'Cause when you're gone, and I feel good, That feeling is sublime! |
"Eyes That See" is a 4 ft. high by 3 ft. wide line-drawing and painting. The person in the painting represents a blind Christ, or one of the least of these, our brother. This statement says to all who see this painting, "Let us take care of all the lost and poor of humanity." The intricate line drawing at the bottom of the painting represents the complex miracle found within the human eye that provides the doctor the ability through modern technology to save another's sight. This drawing was made by a special drawing easel, show at the upper right of the photo.
The easel is designed of round and square shapes working together. It is 7 ft high by 5 ft. wide and weighs 100 pounds. Both the round and square move with each other to accomplish any desired degree or line.
The above painting and easel along with the poem "My Old Friend Pain" may be acquired for $144,000.00. Half the purchase price will be donated to P.E.A.C.E., a non-profit corporation.
