Your Eyes Poem by Claire Ann Sansolis

Time and again He wants me to stay
Those eyes asked for my help
And I only had compassion for you then
I listened to your stories
Until I prayed for you often

I saw those eyes begging me for something else
I saw your tender heart and a call to open my own heart
I broke all my barriers when I saw your heart
I got His permission to go on; in fact he led me there

Your friend even saw what is to come bout us
It was supernatural and I was doubtful from the start
Yet deep inside you began to capture my heart
It was just a matter of time until I blurted it out

Your eyes once full of sadness now sparked with hope
I sense your new found happiness and new found hope
And when it tried to slumber and get off track
I need to look into your eyes and check out my facts

Your eyes just have two responses to my queries
It will lit up each time I promise I’d stay
It will turn down its light and just turned gloomy
Whenever I tried to run and get away from things

Those eyes cry out to the depths of my soul
Begging me stay or it will be led astray
God wanted me to obey
When I saw His eyes through yours

If my life is worth living because I saved those eyes of yours
Then let it be done to me as God has said
For my eyes were also saved once
So now I’m returning the favor as I do my purpose

Your eyes saw through mine and it found a home
So looking at you was never a one way mission
For there I saw forever, all these years I have longed for
Your eyes finally made a way to meet mine
