Daughter dear, what do you see?
For when I look at you, I see a younger me.
Yet your eyes hold a very different story,
They show to me your hopes and dreams.
I see your kindness, your soaring spirit,
Your soul within, peeking out with joy.
Your eyes so deeply hold your emotions.
Your thoughts so gently held within.
Daughter dear, what do you see?
I hope you see yourself in me.
(Thank you to my daughter who patiently allowed me to take a photo of her eye :) )
