Eyes of the prodigal,
eyes of pain
Eyes of regret
from choices made
Eyes full of tears,
of laughter, of ire
Eyes cool as night,
and hot as a fire
Eyes of mystery,
bitterness, sorrow
Eyes of joy,
with the dawn of tomorrow
Eyes of tenacity,
fear, and thanksgiving
Eyes full of wonder,
at the miracle of living
Eyes of discovery
and sacrifice
Misted with poignancy
over seasons in life
Eyes seeking guidance
from God above
But mostly, you see;
eyes full of love
eyes of pain
Eyes of regret
from choices made
Eyes full of tears,
of laughter, of ire
Eyes cool as night,
and hot as a fire
Eyes of mystery,
bitterness, sorrow
Eyes of joy,
with the dawn of tomorrow
Eyes of tenacity,
fear, and thanksgiving
Eyes full of wonder,
at the miracle of living
Eyes of discovery
and sacrifice
Misted with poignancy
over seasons in life
Eyes seeking guidance
from God above
But mostly, you see;
eyes full of love
