In His Eyes

I hold him close as we watch tv those big blue eyes looking up at me Sometimes he speaks about his dad trying to understand this six year old lad We look at pictures when his dad was young there is no dought he is his fathers son Big blue eyes and cotton white hair his Alabama Sweats he loves to wear The pain is there hidden away we talk of the fun times during his stay In those eyes a grandmother sees his confusion and questions he wants to ask me They were so close and they looked like twins always together best friends
