I can not see

As I sit here in one room I can not see beyond the walls
I lift the curtains and I can only see inside its scene
I go outside to look around, I can not see beyond the horizon
Even blue sky, I can not see beyond the vastness of views
Maybe underneath falls our whole city, this I can not see
I can not see the whole state in which I live, even at 30k feet
within our borders there are 50 states, some of which I have partially seen
With water expanse, lands beyond ,so many sights, I want to see
whether nature or man made, so numerous are they, some I may never see?
You give us this earth, and beyond is the cosmos,  
including the heavens which You have created, still unseen.
Along with so many yesterdays that You have seen,  
and tomorrows which are in Your sight,
It is not only 'Your peace you give' that surpasses understanding
You see whats in my heart! You see me! You know my name!
In my heart, I see Your love for all, most who I won't see
My vision acuity is poor without corrective lenses,
Correct my perspective in You Lord,
More than what I can see, I want to see through Your eyes
As clearly as I see what is inside my walls, I desire to see You
