Little Eyes Are Watching (The Cat's Meow)

LITTLE EYES ARE WATCHING
( The Cat's Meow)

Do you know I'm watching you in everything you do
That everytime you make a move, I follow you
You are my world, you are my life, your everything
When I jump into your lap, I hope your heart will sing

When you look at me we don't speak, but deep inside I know
I sense the feeling of love, in your eyes I see the glow
We two have a special bond, our lives thrive because of the other
Sitting for hours with loving glances and no sounds ever uttered

Climbing Jacobs Ladder

CLIMBING JACOB'S LADDER


When your young you don't think of death as part of life.
You know death's there down a windy road far out of sight.
You're to busy, things to do and important people to know.
Living the good life is tough, but you must keep up the show.

When your young, you're so unsure, you don't know what to do.
But life is complicated and stressful and all that stress is on you.
You start to think, life's not working, there's got to be a better way.
So you make adjustments and you start to have better days.

And then I started thinking about something my father read.
An ancient fable of Jacob's Ladder and here's what my father said.
Jesus told Jacob about a ladder to heaven on angel wings.
The ladder was lit by the brilliance of GOD's love while angel's sing.

As I thought further, Jacob's Ladder starts at the beginning of life.
The bottom of the ladder is dark and you climb into the light.
The light is really knowledge and it gets brighter as you age.
Jacob's Ladder and the light turns brilliant as life turns a page.

So we continue to live our lives and do the best that we can do.
To try and always do the right thing in life and to believe in you.
Some people that read this poem might say it doesn't matter.
In truth it matters, all through life you're Climbing Jacob's Ladder.
