Eyes
He looks at me with eyes
That look deep inside of me
Knows me better than I know myself.
He looks at me with eyes
Completely filled with love and patience
Despite all that he has lived.
He calls me with a voice
That calls me to community
To let go of my fears and stress.
He calls me with a voice
Filled with wisdom, strength and beauty
Despite the fact that he can’t speak.
He touches me with a love
That knows no bounds
A love that is so strong.
He touches me with a love
That shows such strength and boundlessness
Despite the fact that he is dependent on others.
He holds me so tight to his soul
That I know a little piece of him
Will always go with me wherever I go
He hold me so tight to his soul.
He trusts me completely
Despite all that he has known.
He shows me such joy
A joy for life, a love of it all
A passion for life.
He shows us such a joy
I want to be more like him
To learn to love the journey of life.
In so many ways he is such an enigma
Many see in him only weakness
Fragility, struggle and inability.
In so many ways he is such an enigma
From him I have known only strength
Trust, love and ability.
