In her eyes
In her eyes
I see the verve in the rhythm
of her life
where the nights of winter
shine bright and the days of
summer cool to her touch
I see the verses of her poetry
and the lyrics in her song as
they tell her story
in her eyes
I see the night winds blow and the
early morning light is eager to go
but darkness begs to take
it slow
I see the melancholy that lingers
from the scars of living as time
watches her grow
In her eyes
I see the twinkle of the stars as
they speak of her journey
through the episodes of being
I see hope born in a galaxy of love
as she shares herself
the consummate nurturer that
she is
in her eyes
I see a friend a sister a wife
I see her passion her moods
her emotions and her fears
I see the truthfulness of her heart
full in the joys of the labor
of carrying her children
and as I hug her and tell her that
I love her
I look in the eyes of
My mother
