Tonight I am sitting with my mother and can't help but stare into her eyes. Her eyes tell a story...oddly enough the story I see is all about me. Sometimes what people see when they look at us is what they want to see. What do you see when you look into the eyes of someone who really loves you? Think about it! Take another look. This is what I see when I look into my mother's eyes.
My Mother's Eyes
When I look in your eyes
I see the purest part of myself
The part only loved by you
It gives me so much wealth
When I look in your eyes
love grows more and more
I see your beautiful soul that I have come to adore
When I look in your eyes innocence overcomes me
Innocence of being your lil girl
A joy no one else can see
When I look in your eyes
it's hard to comprehend
The love you must have for me
A love that will never ever end
When I look in your eyes
I am always at ease
When any trouble comes around
You taught me to go to my knees
When I look in your eyes
I know the cost of forgiving
Without paying that price
Life's not worth the living
When I look in your eyes
This world is an open door
To make time to take every chance
To wander and explore
I remember the lessons you gave
And it comes as no surprise
I am the best of who you are
When I look in your eyes.
