Notes About The Poem

Your Sad Eyes Are Beautiful

You stand in rain, you love the rain, 
The rain from way up high,
Because the rain hides all the tears, 
The tears your little eyes cry,

Still there are tears that just won’t wash off, 
Tears that’re buried deep down,
Those tears that you cry to yourself every day, 
You cry without making a sound,

And all you say is “Shhhh, listen to the rain, 
Listen to the clouds letting go,
Listen to the clouds opening their arms, 
Hugging us all down below”

Then, what you don’t see, is after the rain, 
You’re the beautiful sent from above,
You’re the calmest shade sent to us all, 
You’re the beautiful rainbow of love.
