The Eyes Have It

Some are ever hollow
Some are full of lies
Some are evil; menacing
Some are old and wise

Some are full of mischief
Some are full of fear
Some are deep and soulful
Others full of tears

Some are ever roving
Some are ever cold
Some are ever staring
Some are even rolled!

Some are ever flirting
Some are green or blue
Mine are eyes 
That can’t disguise
The love they hold for you

This is adorable, delightful and as cute as can be. I enjoyed it all, beginning with the title until the last word. It could easily be memorized by any age group and serve as a sing-along or parent to child, not just romantic love (my mind did go there just now). I truly fun poem. All the best ... CayCay
