Notes About The Poem

Tribute poem to Meghan and her parents who are long-time friends

Meghan's Big Eyes

My friend's daughter
Meghan has big, beautiful eyes
When they stare at you
They almost get inside
Where the little inner me
Can't run and hide

Women love eyes
They can see through you
Remember the old saw
"Eyes are the windows
Of your soul"?
Many still think it's so

Keane painted those eyes
Made a name for herself
Painful story
Big, blue eyes
Meghan's got those eyes
Watch out guys!

It's something we all know but worth pointing to on occasion. Thanks for your commentary.
