Marion Mwangi Poet I do not know?

Her Daddy's Eyes

HER DADDYS’ EYES
Her daddy’s eyes were a soft light brown
They danced with the light 
And shone like the moon
She liked to look deep inside them eyes 
B’coz sure enough daddies’ eyes never did lie

The clouds were dark in their house that year
And her heart thundered with fear,
As her family strife tried to tear-
Apart into a thousand pieces.
Her daddy’s eyes were closed in prayer,
And when he opened them…there was no fear,
And when he looked at her: there was warmth,
The tears in her own eyes dried up,
As he looked at her with love,
 And she knew everything would be okay 
B’coz sure enough daddies’ eyes never did lie.

They spoke a language she and he,
Though his tongue was forever sealed,
His eyes spoke volumes to his dear girl
When she achieved and succeeded they sang praise 
When she messed up they grew with anger,
They taught her about life’s issues and
Whenever she was sad they brought her comfort
And she knew to trust him 
B’coz her daddy’s eyes never did lie.

Ian Jones July 30, 2015 at 1:42 PM It can be a very special relationship between father and daughter and when you have it you have your feet in fresh water and your head amongst the stars. I have just such a relationship with my two daughters in England and my step daughter in Zimbabwe, a real life blessing.
