These eyes
What did they see?
In their life before a family, I don't doubt they saw terrible things.
These eyes
Did they fear that one person who came to him each day?
Did he look on in hunger as the food was taken away?
These eyes
Did they wonder where the people went?
Did they worry for the child who cried next to him?
These eyes
What do they know?
What memories do they hold?
Sometimes I am thankful they cannot tell me.
