Eyes To the Soul

Eyes to the soul, eyes to my heart, filled with grace,

I see your glaze upon my face, 

My face is filled with the warmth of shame,

My body is chilled with unknown guilt,

I don't look up, for fear of your gift of kindness,

I want to let go of my comfort zone,  so much to say,

Yet my mouth remains calm, quiet,

I hide my hurt deep down inside, 

Who will ask me to look up at them?

I feel your gift of care, kindness, empthany,


Will you reach out to lift my chin, and see inside my soul?....
