The walks of life are on your face

The eyes display the time and place.

The prisoner's eyes were desperate now.

As the warden led him down the aisle.

The Mother's eyes were full of love,

for a newborn babe, from God above.

The killer's eyes were gray and cold

with no respect for young or old.

The lover's eyes glowed like coals, t

hey swore their love would never grow old.

His eyes are hurt, his heart Is beat.

His company turned him out on the street.

The couple's eyes were full of hate

For their divorce they could not wait.

Their children's eyes were full of tears

although love was there to calm their fears.

He sits alone in a nursing home.

But they don't have time for him to hold.

The widow's eyes are a lonely sight.

The hours drag on, both day and night.

Too weak to even brush the files.

A happy Christian bows his eyes,

To thank the Lord for needs supplied.

The newlyweds have eyes that shine

as they anticipate some happy times.

The golfers' eyes are full of pride.

He made the putt that won the prize.

His happy wife is by his side, In her eyes he has grown In size.

Life is a wonderful, twisting thing.

Each day can joy or grief to bring

the drama of life brings laughter and

sighs, and It Is all reflected In your eyes.
