Seeing Through the Innocent Eyes

The eyes of need, the eyes of a disciple, the eyes that sees perfection from a dad so human, the eyes of expectation, the eyes of loving tenderness, painting a heavy weighted makeup on a lighted loving face. Every of dad’s habit is a white clean handkerchief images of a hero seen as the family’s Hercules eyes so sticky, holding unto daddy’s head mental pictures, guiding the road of parental deeds overcoming a temptation when the sight of disappointment appears seeing a sorry one when diverging from responsibility’s route doing things right to maintain the happy countenance discipline and care putting both eyes to an intriguing debate. Tears of joy dilated by love and satisfaction a squeezing pair thrown at horrifying relationship or neglect eyes of different speeches, sight of telling languages causing various reactions with specific conspicuous rhythms pouring out life or to drown in society’s unfair mud nurturing its growing sight to snap each of experience’s posture just looking up and outwards because the inside still yearns through these eyes, I face up the beautiful challenge of being a daddy.
