Poem Time

I was looking through old files and I found this poem I wrote awhile back. 

Eyes

There is a beauty that inner lies
One that can only be seen in the eyes
Only those who have the gift to see
Could ever hope to understand me

Some eyes are bright and shine with hope
Which betimes is a saving rope
Others have endless glee
How I wish it were a part of me!

Long I searched for the source
Often it brought much remorse
Until after one hard day
I found I had only to pray

At times I did not understand
How I would live in that land
I walked another lonely mile
Till a voice whispered "just smile"

Long and hard I thought
Oh what peace the smile brought
To look in the mirror again and see
The light was finally in me

Now the hope and glee within me lies
Whenever I look at my eyes
To see it in another just magnifies
The joy of what lies behind the eyes

At times I hear the harmony
as I feel you near me
Such sweet song cannot be sung
nor explained with any toungue

Forgive me of my boldness
but I hope you can not miss
the reason of such trying
and often of much crying

I hope you understand how I feel
When I see a truth so real
