eyes

natalie, in your eyes i see wonder and trust--
i love you so, do you know this?--you must.
in your eyes i see faith and hope--
in my times of worry, your eyes help me to cope.
sometimes your eyes say to me "hold on tight"--
and sometimes they say "you are my light."
that gleam of awe, who can miss?
you live through each day with joy and bliss.
that stare of intent that says "don't let go"--
you are growing each day, this i know.
with those beautiful blue eyes, i am in love...
and, for you, dear child, i turn my eyes to the sky in thanks to the One above.
