Brown Eyes

To Mom & Dad

Why are those brown eyes staring at me all the time?
 
Watching me with those huge eagle eyes
 
I sometimes wonder why they follow me everywhere I go!
 
Every step I take! Every move I make!
 
But somehow those eyes make me feel secure.
 
They make me feel that nothing wrong can ever happen to me.
 
They are the eyes that I saw since I was a little girl.
 
Those were big brown eyes.
 
Unlike any I had ever seen.
 
Now when I see those eyes staring in mine.
 
I see the love and caring they have given me.
 
The troubles they have gone through to keep me safe.
 
At first I felt like I was trapped in a reformatory
 
Everyone was watching me.
 
But now, my life is much more secure
 
Just because of those big brown eyes!
 
I remember the tears in those eyes when I was hurt.
 
And the love in them when I was born.
 
Those eyes give me the feeling of safety and love.
 
And I wish they will always be there
 
To take care of me and keep me secured
 
Give me love and never let go.
 
The eyes of my parents.
