BUT, OH THOSE EYES:



The man is fat, bald & he walks with a lilting limp,
He´s unfortunate in looks, considered such a wimp,
But, oh those eyes, they´re so very kind.

The woman is old, wrinkled & she´s so doubled bent,
Missing teeth, whipped by life & folk, so cruelly spent,
But, oh those eyes, they´re so very wise.

The child is dirty, poor & in the world so very alone,
He hasn’t a family & has never known a loving home,
But, oh those eyes, they´re so filled with awe.

The dog is kicked by foot, tongue & man´s harsh hand,
Wandering the streets trying to avoid the boot of man,
But, oh those eyes, they´re so filled with faith.

Said to be the windows of the soul, of every single eye,
Look deep within the eye of life, to see all before you die,
But, oh those eyes, they´re fading now.
