eyes shaped like almonds
she wished they were bigger
and round like her sister’s
both brown eyed girls
just like their mother’s
who wished hers were darker
like when she was younger
all seen through the eyes
of the next generation
with nothing but love
now isn’t that amazing?
Amazing indeed! The eyes hold so much, and I enjoyed the way you used them as the thread here to take us through the generations, through the poem. Thank you!
