Eye's That Never Hello
Eye’s that never say hello
I often wonder why the people we see daily will walk past you and never say hello.
Never making eye contact or words never spoken.
Their eyes look in opposite direction
Not even a casual hello, a glance or nod.
I fear sometimes that my presence might be that insignificant to them.
By doing so many great opportunities are missed.
With the sound of silence.
Not realizing how a simple hello would make a difference to many people.
Conversations missed, smiles that never existed.
Walls built within that prevent a gesture of kindness.
