I watched your eyes when We were in the depths. They were confused and weak And they were doubting and Wisening. I watched your eyes when We reached the heights. They were bright and confident And they were knowing and Careless. I watched your eyes when We were just walking along. They were aware and expectant. And they were happiest Then.

Bill, I enjoyed reading this. At the end, I expected the next to the last line to be end-stopped, with "Then" with ellipsis after it, so it trails off as a thought or unspecified action. JMHO, you're the poet. Good work!
Those eyes are the windows to the soul. Shared wisdom Mr. Purdin. I am enjoying your library.
Beautiful and insightful. I love the warmth of this; the caring and passion are wonderful. Well done.
