Mother's Eyes

Mother’s eyes peer at her books everyday Mother’s eyes spot the messes on my clothes Mother’s eyes get me in trouble for the messy room She says, “Paul, it is cold outside, Make sure you bundle up.” Mother’s eyes see past the skin Mother’s eyes comfort the pain from the scratch Mother’s eyes decorate the house and yard She says, “Dinners ready!” And we all come to see her masterpiece Mother’s eyes show love Every time I come home from school Mother’s eyes show cheer Every time I play ball Mother’s eyes comfort Even when I beat her in memory She says, “I am just getting warmed up I will get you next time.” Mother’s eyes have always been there From north to south Right by my side Mother’s eyes will always be there Right with me by my side That is why I love mother and her eyes
