Eyes To the Soul
Grandma said
People’s eyes are the key to their soul
There are stories to be told
Eyes can tell you a story of pain
A story of joy
A story of sorrow
Eyes can tell you lies
Or the truth
Eyes of the old and of the youth
Eyes can tell you a story of love
A story of mystery
Even a story of history
Eyes can tell you myths
Stories from the abyss
Even stories of bliss
Eyes can tell you a story of happiness
A story of stories
Eyes can tell you about worries
Look into someone’s eyes when you talk
You can read what they are all about
You’ll walk away with no doubts
A person’s mouth can tell you a lie
Their actions can be of deceit
But their eyes, they cannot defeat
Eyes are key
Because they will unfold
The very essence of your soul
