A Faraway Look in My Eyes

     I can’t conceal my moods, can you? 
      a long face reflects a rough day
       a smile says now everything’s OK

     Fighting back tears is useless, you see
       something terrible’s happened to me

     A faraway look in my eyes means I’m reminiscing
       of our good times together ~ of what I’m missing

Ah, yes, you are palling my leg again. Only 1/2 leg left for you to pull now, John! ~ gw

Our eyes give us away. It is hard to hide. Those moments in life sometimes trigger a response we have no control of but is shown through our eyes, our tears, and facial expression. I rather see a smile on you Gershon. Be happy my friend...
