Who do you know with a twinkle in the eye?
by Glenn CurrierA twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart
someone who’s set apart
who loves being alive
with a mind in drive.
The Proverb’s truth set me thinking
of who I know with that twinkling
and it took me a while
to think of one with eyes that smile.
I then considered the heart of joy
and remembered the little boy
who learned to play the chord of C
to sing with glee in a major key.
But it happens a boy becomes a man
and sadness, hurt, and error span
years of breakups and loves in the dust
vanished dreams, promises and trust.
Still his soul stays open and awake
and he learns to forgive mistakes,
to forge new ties to fall but rise
and again that twinkle dwells in his eyes. 04/06/2018 Author's Note: Author’s Note: My reflection on Proverbs 15:30 “A twinkle in the eye means joy in the heart,and good news makes you feel fit as a fiddle.”

[It is just easier for me to *stellar* this than to explain why. But know, this touches to the core of those of us who been around awhile and still here to reflect.] |
