With eyes that warm the heart and strengthen souls

(The palest blue in eyes that has been seen)

Although the eyes I mention can be cold,

They still bring palms to sweat and have a sheen.

At times these eyes will shine on like a star

And make a grin from laughter turn to smile

When sadness seems, to him, to be sub-par

Those eyes will make you better in a while.

With yours, those eyes meet in conversations

And hold you fast to earth while you both talk,

Those eyes command everyone’s attention

Else he decides he will get up and walk.

Those pale eyes that I stare into each day

Are the same eyes from which I walk away.
