When I Look Into Your Eyes....

Today I put a poem on here for Carry on Tuesday. The prompt was "When I look into your eyes". This poem is for my daughter.

Daughter
 When I look into your eyes,
I see strength.
Strength of character
so strong,
and it inspires me.
You inspire me.
Your eyes they spark,
and your eyes they glow.
Life.
Your eyes just dance with life.
And  I know your story,
and I know your past,
and I look into your eyes
and see strength.

    :) I always find it amazing how we draw strength and inspiration from those that we are ment to inspire and give strength too ! But then I guess if teh truth is to be told " Monkey see, Monkey do ", kids only learn how to behave and live thier life from examples set by thier parents while growing up so it only goes to reason that as we grow older and tired from the struggle that looking into our childrens eyes is like looking into a mirror reflecting our strong and inspirational youth !
