Expression of Honesty
Beholding my special child’s countenance
I’m delighted with his expressive eyes
Praising God midst gratefulness, concealing no lies
Contagious as he smiles with bliss’ radiance.
Arrested by his apprehending stare midst serene face
I cannot defy responding to his call for love and care
Since such signals his spasm-epilepsy’s scare
Only God can soothe and completely heal by His grace.
Witnessing my son’s sincere feelings, displayed by varied emotions
Through his facial appearance accentuated by his eye movements
My heart seeks the Lord’s compassion* for right engagements
Trusting His vision always perfect, devoid of illusions.
*Psalm 145:8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
