A Child’s Eyes

It’s been said that “the eyes are a window to the soul”, I tend to believe it. Looking through pictures, I took this month; I started noticing the children’s faces, especially their eyes.

Some sparkle with mischief,

some are devoid of hope.

 Some want to believe that there is more to life,

some look like they have given up

and accepted that what they have is all they’ll get.

Their smiles speak volumes

if you can get a smile

All they want is a piggy back ride

A shoulder to sit on

And someone to put their arms around them. 

All it takes to make their eyes shine, is a little bit of love.
