THESE EYES
These eyes have seen
a man who loved;
we watched
his soul reach out to you;
with every glance we saw
his need to make you happy;
when you wept in sorrow
we watched his pain.

We watched your needs
become his obsession;
we saw his child-like delight
when your kids were born;
we watched him struggle
to raise your family;
we saw him beam with pride
when he was done.

And we looked on when
you were close to dying;
we saw him
will you back to life;
But now we watch
his life, now trying,
to see Love
with
Mistake for a wife.
