Those Eyes

"Those Eyes" by: Eric L. Boddie Stars shine so bright And a child's smile is just so pure When God created your eyes They are all He used, I am sure He used the sun's power The Life-giving warmth of its fire Then He divided it above each of your cheeks It's no wonder that they spark desire Enough was not done though Because the Creator works with style He took that which was already perfect And sprinkled it with the happiness of a child Vibrant can easily describe some But the Beauty in your eyes is just too strong And any man who says he has seen anything more Beautiful Needs to be shot because he is dead wrong Only the face of Love If there is such a thing Can compare to your soul's windows If they had a voice, they would always sing No word nor any description At least not any known to me Can do justice to the Beauty in your eyes Because it was God who said "Let Them Be" No one but Him Can begin to understand And I don't know how they affect women But you just wouldn't believe what they do to a man Even if I could tell you You wouldn't understand what I would say Because only the Language of God has the Words To describe the Beauty that your eyes display

I always notice people's eyes, because that's where the soul shines. Eyes can be beautiful when the rest of the package barely is worth a glance in society's estimation. It's good to know others notice such things.

Dear Eric This is so beautiful and I agree there's nothing more wonderful or with more beauty than the that of a the look in a child's eyes or their spark within there dearest tiny souls, the best sound in the world to me is a child's cry, it's letting the world know I've here, love your poem it's very inspirational, cheri and thanks for your review on mine also, and your right love is the most powerful force in the universe, cheri
