Mother's Eyes
Mother’s eyes peer at her books everyday
Mother’s eyes spot the messes on my clothes
Mother’s eyes get me in trouble for the messy room
She says, “Paul, it is cold outside,
Make sure you bundle up.”
Mother’s eyes see past the skin
Mother’s eyes comfort the pain from the scratch
Mother’s eyes decorate the house and yard
She says, “Dinners ready!”
And we all come to see her masterpiece
Mother’s eyes show love
Every time I come home from school
Mother’s eyes show cheer
Every time I play ball
Mother’s eyes comfort
Even when I beat her in memory
She says, “I am just getting warmed up
I will get you next time.”
Mother’s eyes have always been there
From north to south
Right by my side
Mother’s eyes will always be there
Right with me by my side
That is why I love mother and her eyes
