Your Brown Eyes Flecked With Gold

One winter’s day we walked in snow as twilight kissed the sky. And though it was so long ago I still try not to cry. I think about the way that you looked; that image of you I hold inside my mind until this day - Those brown eyes flecked with gold. . . Your brown eyes flecked with gold so warmed my heart I never could have thought we’d ever part. How I pray that you still think of me anywhere that you, my love, might be. Upon your face I wish once more to gaze - To see your eyes that shine like summer days! I’ll recall when times grow cold how I felt that day we strolled, and I never can forget your brown eyes flecked with gold.
