In There Faces

In Their Faces In their faces I see many things; I see happiness and sadness And a mind that’s wondering. I see the joy When they’ve scored well On a test; I see sadness When they suffer From the lack of rest. I see victory In each and every smile; I see the pure heart Of the innocent child. I see the troubled child Finding things hard to understand; Being disobedient When responding to a command. I see special gifts In the face of all Some day to develop Into the greatness From which they have been called. Sheryl Torrenc
