The colour <br />of her <br /> <br />eyes <br /> <br />were the same colour <br />as her questions <br /> <br />the startling <br />colour of love. <br /> <br />I tell her <br />I love her <br /> <br />eyes <br />& the questions <br /> <br />she asks <br />my heart. <br /> <br />“Oh, lovely Daddy! ” <br />she smiled <br /> <br />& kissed me <br />for what seemed <br /> <br />a thousand years <br />or there or thereabouts <br /> <br />(I wasn’t counting) <br /> <br />lost <br />in the colour <br /> <br />of her <br />eyes.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-colour-of-her-eyes/
