If you look in their eyes you could almost see their story
All of their pain and some of their glory
If the eyes are the mirror to the soul
Do you know what they see when they look in their bowl?
What’s staring back in their faces
Is it a lack of social graces?
Or is it the life they led that brought
them to the table? Is it the friends and families they shared
when their lives were stable?
Whatever did happen in that distant past
Will the life they had ever return and will it last?
These are questions no one knows
Hopefully they’ll get it together before “their eyes” are
closed.
