Seeing Deep Pain, In Watering Blue Eyes
Seeing Deep Pain, In Watering Blue Eyes
I was not brave, I did not dare to ask
why she cried, hid behind her weeping mask
Seeing deep pain, in watering blue eyes
matching rainfall from dark, cloudy skies
I had not courage, to find out her plight
nor wisdom -to see evil in plain sight
Her shattered heart, crushed by a cruel fiend
she now lost, nobody dare intervene
If we had met before deep heartbreak struck
I would now hold her and thank my good luck
There she sat, crying outside that June dance
to broken to give her NEW LOVE a chance
Then she saw me and gave a tiny smile
Courage came, I crossed that last fearful mile
R. J. Lindley,
July 23rd, 1973
