Secret I Hide

I have a secret that I will describe, it is no lie.
At one time or the other the shade is of the sky.
Then again at times it is the color of where animals lie.
I will take this secret to my grave, the answer of why?
Many do guess and guess, indeed they do try.
Not even my momma knew the reason, oh my.
Even the women in my life, my wife, never supply.
They have seen it many times, by and by.
I don’t answer their questions, they just sigh.
You should know by now, without any pry.
Changes I speak of have to do with each eye.
This secret is hard to understand or identify.
