Misery seems to fill her eyes
But so few see through her disguise
A sweet smile covers her face
With a soft glow it lights this place
Though a sorrow exists within
To it fully she won’t give in
Around the corner she will find
A gazing pair of eyes so kind
Be they blue or brown or green
They will hold that peace foreseen
They will see beyond her sorrow
Hold her heart for each tomorrow

This is a very lovely poem, Jadedheart full of hope and hints of pain beyond the smile with a desire for peace and kindness.
Very nice poem.

My VERY favorite poem of yours I have ever read! Thank you for reminding us so eloquently that wearing a smile can help us find those kind eyes around the next corner! We all need that hope–and we all must do our part to reach it!–Not to mention, giving back kindness with a smile, be it slightly sad sometimes.

I would like to think I have had a tiny glimpse, but can we ever really be known? I do enjoy seeing you reveal yourself through thoughts and words. Beautiful, my friend

Thank you, it is nice to be able to reveal myself as much as I do here. 🙂

The eyes are the window to the soul and this is absolutely beautiful. Love it and thank you!
