Mama's Eyes

Remember when you were a kid and you wish you'd gone and hid? Mom gave you that look from the corner of her eye that said you'd been caught in a lie. With just one look that's all it took and you begin to cry. With the narrowing of her eyes that filled you with dread making you wish that you were dead. Then the look straigght down the nose as her head rose told you in the story you're telling you'd gone too far and thought it just a little bizarre. How about when you were about to do wrong. Something you know your not to do With her head down she'd look up at you and her eyes would say. I wouldn't do that if I were you.. Then there's that look when you've done it anyway and your're on the run for it did say. Now your're all done and by the seat of your pants you'll pay. The look I love most is the one that came at the end of the day. When she tucks you in bed and kisses your head her look would always say. I love you child. Not just for today but always. OOPS I forgot the eyes in the back of her head.
