In Her Eyes

In her eyes I see the verve in the rhythm Of her life Where the nights of winter Shine bright and the days of Summer cool to her touch I see the verses of her poetry And the lyrics in her song as They tell her story In her eyes I see the night winds blow and the Early morning light is eager to go Out darkness begs to take It slow I see the melancholy that lingers From the scars of living as time Watches her grow In her eyes I see the twinkle of the stars as They speak of her journey Through the episodes of being I see hope born in a galaxy of love As she shares herself The consummate nurturer that She is In her eyes I see a friend a sister a wife I see her passion her moods her emotions and her fears I see the truthfulness of her heart Full in the joys of the labor Of carrying her children And as I hug her and tell her that I love her I look in the eyes of My mother Earl S.
