Within His Eyes Within his eyes, we saw his thankful love as he was saved from meeting a sad fate and brought into the warmth that winter night where destiny and loving bonds await. Within his eyes, we saw committed love for nurture from a family that cared. So many years of comfort and pure joy and unconditional sweet love he shared. Within his eyes, for many years, joy beamed... tho softer glowed as twenty soon came by. And when they closed forever one sad day, to loving eyes and purrs we said goodbye. Sandra M. Haight ~4th Place~ Contest: Honourable Mentions Worth Mentioning Sponsor: Richard Lamoureux Judged: 05/12/2019 ~Honorable Mention~ Contest: Within His Eyes Sponsor: FJ Thomas Judged: November 16, 2016 This is a special, very heartfelt poem about our beloved cat, Charlie, a stray that my husband rescued from a fire many years ago, and who we loved and adored for twenty years.
