Your Eyes...

Your eyes, most beautiful of all,

In your eyes, I found Love,

In your eyes, is strength and courage,

In your eyes, are scars and denial,

In your eyes are tears of years,

In your eyes are courage and perseverance,

In your eyes are strength and frailty,

In your eyes is Mother's love,

In your eyes is love weathering all storm,

In your eyes are smiles and Genuity,

A smile, per day, your wand,

A smile per day, your secret weapon, 

A smile per day, recipe for health,

Unapologetically real and consistent,

Your eyes I see always,

You are not forgotten.
