Eyes of Wonder

They say the eyes are the window to the soul
When looking at yours, I wonder what secrets they may hold

Could it be that you're mistrusting, lost , or empty?
Or is it alot more to you than what you allow people to see

The same intense eyes that exude charisma and confidence
Are the very same that seem to be filled with sadness

Whenever you're engulfed in a sea of people you still remain to be an individual 
and not just "a name"
A humble, God fearing man, even with your "claim to fame"

By yourself or in a crowd in your eyes say lonely
Or maybe what I see in you, are the traits recognizebly mirrored in me

In writing this, (like every other poem) I ask God, "who could this be pertaining 
to?"
He said, I'll take care of that part, you just keep using this gift I've given you.

So, to whom this may concern if this is too your story
Keep your head up, and I'll pray for you, and you pray for me

Be Blessed
