Her Eyes
Her eyes were as beautiful as they could be
A puppy dog’s frown looking back at me
As they smiled they truly danced with life
Those big brown eyes of my beautiful wife
I sat behind glass as they filled with tears
Scared and alone her eyes danced with fear
The depth of her eyes expressed all of the pain
Dancing all around me I could feel their shame
But when they met mine these words are true
Beauty of their love broke me completely into
I gazed into her eyes into the depths of her soul
Lost up inside those eyes I had found my goal
It totally broke my spirit as I realized her pain
The thought of it drove me completely insane
Over sixty months later when mine got set free
Can you guess what eyes were waiting for me?
Two beautiful eyes that were so deep and brown
Now had a beautiful sparkling puppy dog frown
They also had a sternness I had never seen
Saying the only way to us is by staying clean
All these years later, eyes still as deep as a well
I am still lost in their beauty, bound to their spell
Telling me good morning as we start another day
Her eyes shine with so much love in a beautiful way
Sometimes in life we try to be all that we can be
I didn’t pick her eyes because her eyes picked me
I am lost in the treasure of her beauty and grace
I reckon beautiful eyes deserve a beautiful face
Expanding on her beautiful eyes that mirror her soul
Is no less than my life’s honor and a beautiful goal
