Smiling Eyes Poem by C R Clark

Smiling Eyes
Looking up at me,
From the face of a thirty eight inch boy
Touching me
With magic, only love can comprehend
Questioning
And stirring mixed emotions in my soul
Can I teach him
All the things he needs to know
Or will I fail
And will he love me
Just as much when he grows up
As he does now
But, I know when I look into those smiling eyes
They don’t comprehend the meaning
In the words I have to say
But, I hope, they realize
How much I love those smiling eyes
