Eyes
so quiet
hold an ocean within
a steady gaze
speaks silent strength
eyes
so deep
to wade into
find or lose yourself
eyes
so wise
read you inside out
soaked in tears
dried in steel
smile that is just that – a smile
neither sorrow nor joy
tender hands
powerful soul
life’s journey
has not yet killed hope nor dreams
prayers for you
and much love
dear daughter, be thou happy
be thou mine!
