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.
