Eyes Poem by Wallis minten

As I grew older
The people I knew
Seemed to change
Into something new

The thing that changed
Was their eyes
Their eyes grew sadder
As the years went by

My friends wouldn't play
Or even look at me
But sadly look around
Then stare at their feet

I knew why
Their eyes had change
Their childhood was ending
Slipping away

They were growing up
Having to face reality
Having to deal with
Problems in the family

They start to sadden
They think their fun is gone
But that is where
I know they are wrong

Even if you grow up
Life has so much to give
Like friendship and love
And the thrill to live

And even if their eyes
Start to change
I'll always look forwards
My eyes still the same
