Hey kids! What do you see?

The National Institute of Health has named May Healthy Vision Month!

A lot of times we take our eyes for granted. This is a lovely poem by K.C. Bean that encourages kids to use and appreciate their eyes.

Take a look!

Your Eyes

 By KC Bean

Hey kids!

Have you noticed your eyes?

Squeeze them tight

Then open them wide!

 

What’s all around you?

What can you see?

The biggest sky,

The tiniest flea?

 

Your awesome eyes,

They see all around.

Look to the sides

Look up, look down.

 

Use them to read

Or watch TV.

In bright light or dark

What can you see?

 

The colors, the lights,

The patterns, the shapes

Wherever you look

Is a big see-scape!

 

Love them, enjoy them,

Take care of them too.

Your eyes are a wonderful

Part of you.
