Ilene Townsend Poet Lyric

In My Eyes

He claims he is no different 
nor better than any other. 
What he doesn’t understand
in my eyes I see no other.

I see him being warm and tender
with a touch that melts my heart.
If it be holding my hand, caressing my cheek,
or an embrace that means so much.

I see inside him a heart possessing goodness.
Always cheerfully giving of himself. 
Finding ways to pass on laughter and joy
never asking for anything in return.

I see him full of forgiveness and understanding,
in times our friendship and love are tested
with a problem that comes between us.
He’s ready to talk it out before ever leaving my sight.

I see him bestowing sincerity.
Teaching me trust when I am apprehensive.
He’s not deceitful or hypocritical
when others hide from the truth.

I see him in all his compassion 
picking me up when I fall.
Giving strength, support, 
and encouragment not to give up.

I see him standing tall and strong
prepared to defend and protect.
Ready to conquer whomever
dares to do me any kind of harm. 

I see him pledge unconditional love
thats true and faithful.
Loving, respecting, 
Ne'er wishing me to change. 

I see him high on a pedestal
where all his qualities shine bright.
I can’t help but cherish them
holding them dear to my heart.

He claims he is no different 
nor better than any other.
What he doesn’t understand,
in my eyes I see no other.
