Your eyes that sparkle, shine and sing <br />They mask the hardship life does bring. <br /> <br />Your yearning for comfort, food and love <br />Doesn’t dampen that spirit that fits like a glove. <br /> <br />The smile that tells others there’s hope out there <br />Maybe tomorrow could bring fruit to bear. <br /> <br />As hard as life is, you just carry on smiling <br />A caring hand, the thought so beguiling. <br /> <br />You stop to help others in need of assistance <br />The wanting to give up is met by resistance. <br /> <br />It’s your eyes that sparkle, shine and sing <br />That brings hope to others of life to cling.<br /><br />Brian 'Peza' Perrins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyes-that-sparkle/
